The proposal is filled with good intentions. The problem is that
California can't afford a high speed rail system as proposed, we
are already one of the highest taxed states in the country. As we
also have the highest population in the country, we also have the
highest number of people living in poverty. We have one of the
highest gasoline prices in the country. I feel that people living
in poverty or close to the poverty line, can't afford to purchase
any of the newer vehicles that get better gas mileage, so they will
continue to drive their gas guzzlers until they just quit running.
Then it is still less expensive to fix the old kluncker, that to
give a big down payment and have monthly payments for years. So we
have took at this proposal, with the poor people in mind, they are
the ones that will be most affected and the ones that can least
afford it. Is this proposal is passed as proposed, will it cost
California many jobs? The high speed rail will have a lot of jobs,
but once it's done, so will the jobs be done. A high speed rail
with many stops, will not be a high speed rail. 
Thank you for letting me print my opinion.
