Great story today by Katy Grimes in the California Globe taking the Newsom-coddling hacks at the LA Times to task for touting the insanely wasteful California High-Speed Rail project as a “jobs program.”

In her piece, Grames notes that, left bereft of any valid, fact-based way to justify a 17-year boodoggle whose budget has exploded from an initial $29 billion to well more than $140 billion and counting, the LA Times on Tuesday published a sad booster piece under the headline, “How the high-speed rail project trains workers and provides thousands of jobs in the Central Valley.”

So, now it’s just another state-run jobs program for Democrat-connected unions.
