California's Proposition 1A passed with 52.3%! From ballotpedia
http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition_1A_(2008)
QuoteProp. 1A approves the issuance of $9.95 billion of general obligation bonds. This will partially fund a $40 billion, 800-mile high speed train under the supervision of the California High-Speed Rail Authority. The train will run between San Francisco and Los Angeles, with Anaheim, California, designated as the southern terminus of the initial segment of the high-speed train system. Estimates are that the train system would be completed in 2030, and that it would take passengers between San Francisco and Los Angeles in about 2 hours and 40 minutes.

Remember when we voted in High Speed Rail but Jeb Bush thought the money should be put into the sub prime mortgage market instead.
