President Trump criticized California's High-Speed Rail project, claiming it is plagued by corruption without furnishing any proof. Jim Patrick, a project spokesperson, defended their expenditure practices, emphasizing that funds have been used sensibly for land and trains. Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer acknowledged project delays but expressed a desire for the project to reach completion regardless of the political scrutiny it faces. Comparisons were drawn to other highway projects with greater budget overruns yet receiving significantly less attention from officials and the public.
"Any investigation is going to find we've been spending money wisely. We're buying land, buying trains, and we're working as fast as we can with the money we have." - Jim Patrick
