They want Kotek to fund a $24B train to Seattle?

All of the sudden there is a push by progressives and business leaders for a bullet train from Portland to Seattle.

Hoodlien shows the price tag when they say, “Even the project’s biggest fans are not pretending this will be cheap or quick. Earlier feasibility studies pegged construction costs somewhere between about $24 billion and $42 billion and mapped out a build-out timeline that stretches over multiple decades.”

Consider the fact that politicians went on a spending spree for several light-rail trains and one hard rail train (Wilsonville) that all over-promised, under-delivered on riders and are over-cost on taxpayer subsidies.

What could go wrong with an even bigger train project?
