California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office says he is fully committed to building a high-speed rail line between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
That’s despite his comments Tuesday that there “isn’t a path” right now for the project.
He said during his State of the State speech that he’s refocusing on finishing a segment of rail in the Central Valley that’s already under construction. Newsom says he’ll complete the environmental reviews for the full line. That’s a stipulation of federal dollars the state has already received.
Newsom said the project would cost too much and take too long. But his spokesman Nathan Click said he’s not walking away from it.
