December 5, 2014 - WASHINGTON — U.S. Representative Jeff Denham (CA-10) today sent a letter to House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers and Committee Ranking Member Nita Lowey requesting that end-of-year appropriations measures include provisions to prohibit federal spending on California high-speed rail (CA HSR).

“California’s high-speed rail plan is light-years removed from what voters approved in 2008 with Prop 1A,” said Rep. Denham. “The California High Speed Rail Authority is trying to spend money it doesn’t have on the false assumption that more federal funds are coming. No taxpayer should have to spend any further money on skyrocketing expenses they never supported.”

Rep. Denham’s letter was signed by U.S. Representatives Doug LaMalfa (CA-01), Devin Nunes (CA-22), Paul Cook (CA-08), Ed Royce (CA-39), John Campbell (CA-45), Darrell Issa (CA-49), Duncan Hunter (CA-52), Dana Rohrabacher (CA-48), Buck McKeon (CA-25), Gary Miller (CA-31), Ken Calvert (CA-42) and Tom McClintock (CA-04).

The letter notes that CA HSR costs have ballooned “from $33 billion to over $100 billion before the scope was trimmed to bring the current figure to $68 billion. Additionally, the Authority has continually failed to keep the project off Ag land or to provide a viable business plan detailing where the money for the project will come from, instead assuming that federal tax payers will foot the bill.”

The letter asks the Appropriations Committee to include in an end-of-the-year funding vehicle the Denham Amendment to H.R. 4745, the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2015. Specifically, the Denham amendment prohibits use of federal funds within the bill for high-speed rail in the State of California or for the California High-Speed Rail Authority. The Denham amendment was adopted by a vote of 227-186 in June of this year, and has been supported in previous Congressional sessions.
