More trouble tonight for the state's controversial high-speed rail project.It now needs a lot more money fast.At a budget hearing in the state assembly Wednesday, California Legislative Analyst Office representative Helen Kerstein told lawmakers the project is now reporting it's $7 billion short of what it needs by next June, 2026, and Kerstein says that's not all.“There is no specific plan to meet that roughly 7 billion dollar gap from Merced to Bakersfield. We also think there's some risk that that gap could grow,” said Kerstein.With no plan in sight to meet that shortfall, Kerstein says the project could grind to a halt in as little as 15 months.

Why has California governor Gavin Newsom taken to denouncing Walgreens' drug policy (hint: abortion-pill availability) and what should happen with the Golden State's problematic high-speed rail project that's more “loco” than “motion”? Hoover senior fellow Lee Ohanian and distinguished policy fellow Bill Whalen, both contributors to Hoover's “California on Your Mind” web channel, discuss the latest in the Golden State including why Newsom chose not to deliver a State of the State address, fentanyl-plagued San Francisco revisiting its sanctuary policy, and California bracing for (sigh) another round of battering rainstorms.

Regular readers of Streetsblog California will recognize James Sinclair's name as the author of the Stop and Move blog on transportation policy in and around Fresno. James was one of the first bloggers to allow us to syndicate their articles, and we've featured his work a handful of times. James is also on the Board of Directors for the California Streets Initiative, the non-profit that publishes Streetsblog. Born and mostly-raised in Mexico, he often traveled to Fresno on holiday to visit family and developed a love for the city. In the "about me" section of Stop and Move, he explains how Fresno became a place he is passionate about : I have been in and out of Fresno for most of my life. While it has never been my true home, it has been the closest to having one. I have been fortunate enough to live in a dozen places, and travel to dozens of countries. As such, I have been able to see what Fresno does well, and what Fresno does badly. James now works as a bicycle and pedestrian planner/consultant. A decade after the launch of the Stop and Move blog, he sits down with us to talk about the state of advocacy in Fresno, his hopes and fears for California High-Speed Rail and some of his favorite projects.
