Fresno ain't paying

The U.S. railway regulator, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), said on Thursday it had canceled the funding awarded in a 2010 agreement after it said the state had “repeatedly failed to comply” and “failed to make reasonable progress on the project.”
In a statement, the FRA said it was still considering “all options” on seeking the return of $2.5 billion in federal funds the state has already received.
The decision is the latest salvo in an ongoing battle between the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump and California over a series of issues including immigration, vehicle emissions standards and internet policy.
About 60% of the do-rem-me was spent in this town, half of that tearing down my favorite french dip sandwich joint.  Fresno isn't paying for that, on account of we are the usual local government welfare bums found everywhere in America.  Make the Texas Space Cadets pay for it.
