John,
It's Steve Hilton.
I spent the past month digging into California's $128 billion train.
I expected waste.
What I found was worse.
I’m laying out the full 18-year timeline — every promise, every deadline, who got paid — and a pattern emerges.
Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
It's not a California story:It's a preview of what’s to come if we don’t hold these people accountable.
Takes 5 minutes to read:
Yes, I'll ask for your help eventually. Right now I just want you to see how high the stakes are.
Thank you,
— Steve Hilton
