There is no way the California High Speed Rail Autority can build a system with only 150 employees and no full-time engineer.

The root cause of this disaster is sadly obvious when one realizes that the California High-Speed Rail Authority currently has only about 150 employees and lacks a full-time chief engineer. Compare this with Caltrans, which has more than 18,000 employees and hundreds of capable engineers and project managers.

The bullet train is destined to fail without a complete overhaul. This most complex project cannot be accomplished on the cheap, and we taxpayers are suffering dearly from the layers of expensive and unaccountable private consultants. Stay tuned to see if the authority’s interim director is correct that construction contractor Tutor Perini Corp. will pay for the cost of repairing that stalled Madera County bridge.
