Nevada Senator Jacky Rosen announced $3 billion for a historic Brightline High-Speed Rail that will connect Las Vegas and Southern California.

I just learned about this a few minutes ago.

Sen. Rosen also says the initial goal of opening by 2028 — just in time for the U.S. Summer Olympics in Los Angeles — is still on track.

    It's Vegas, baby. Eventually news will break about how $100s of millions were "misspent". Maybe some small contractors will get charged with crimes but - of course - the big fish criminals will somehow get away. Maybe their firms will be pay fines and the DOJ can have a press conference about that.
