WASHINGTON — U.S. House of Representatives Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy of California, the third-ranking House Republican, told McClatchey Newspapers March 8 that California should not be the recipient of additional federal funds for construction of a high-speed rail line.<\/p>\n

Other California officials are seeking the $2.4 billion in federal high-speed rail funds previously allocated to Florida for a high-speed rail line. Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott earlier rejected those funds.<\/p>\n

Many California officials are anxious to construct a $40 billion, 220-mph high-speed rail line stretching 800 miles linking San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego. California previously received an initial federal grant of $2.3 billion toward its high-speed rail project.<\/p>\n

“In today’s world, is that the best place to put the money? The answer is no,” McCarthy told McClatchy Newspapers. “I don’t think it’s a smart investment. Look at where California is [financially]. They don’t have enough money to build it now.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0The Hill newspaper reports that Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has not yet indicated where Florida’s money would be redirected. Officials in other states also are anxious to attract the $2.3 billion rejected by Florida.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
