YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!QuoteGov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has virtually endorsed California High Speed Rail, while answering questions following a speech to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco.
"Just because we had a problem with the budget does not mean that people should vote 'no' on the rail system," the governor said. "We need high-speed rail.
"Our rail system in America is so old we are driving the same speed we did 100 years ago. . . . If we want to have mass transportation, we should modernize those things. . . . All over the world we see high-speed rails. . . . We should start here and show leadership and show the rest of the country how to do it."
The same for building new water facilities, he said. The state should not hold back on projects "that are good for the future" just because the Capitol is spewing red ink. "Budget crises in California come and go."
