The California High-Speed Rail Authority issued a project update for the first time in two years. It’s hard to believe, but the update was more bad news for California ‘s biggest boondoggle.

The project’s focus has been the Merced-Bakersfield line, which has, of course, ballooned in costs and had its deadline pushed back years. The Central Valley section of the line now has the optimistic operation date of 2032, two years later than the 2030 deadline that was the target as of just a few months ago. (That was changed from 2029 a few years ago, as the deadline keeps getting pushed back.)
