High-Speed Rail Proposal Passes in California. By Michael Cabanatuan, SFChron, November 5, 2008. "California voters are climbing on board a plan to start construction of the nation's first high-speed rail system. The bond measure will approve the sale of nearly $10 billion in bonds as a down payment on an 800-mile high-speed rail network that would send electric trains zipping between Northern and Southern California at up to 220 mph. Supporters, including transportation, environmental and business groups and the heavy-construction industry, said high-speed rail would offer a fast, greener and less-costly way to travel up and down the state." Prop 1A: High-speed rail -- Yes 52.3% No 47.7% [95% of vote reported by the LATimes.]
