4B Daily News – Saturday, June 4, 2011 Assembly acts to end independent rail authority SACRAMENTO (AP) — The state Assembly on Friday joined the Senate in tightening oversight of the state’s high-speed rail project, voting to create a department to run a system that is expected to cost more than $43 billion. The Assembly voted 50-16 Friday to place the rail project under a new Depart- ment of High-Speed Trains within the exist- ing Business, Transportation and Housing Agency. The current board, now largely independent and seen by supporters as free of many bureaucratic constraints, would have an advisory role and set some policies. Democratic Assemblywoman Cathleen Galgiani, of Livingston, said her AB145 would ensure sufficient oversight of the pro- ject, intended to link San Francisco with Los Angeles and Anaheim at speeds of up to 220 mph. The bill goes to the Senate, which passed a similar bill Wednesday. That bill, SB517, placed the authority board within the same state agency, ended the terms of its board members early and changed the way they are selected. The tinkering by lawmak- ers comes amid rising criticism of the pro- ject, which under the terms of federal grants is supposed to start construction in the Cen- tral Valley near Fresno by September 2012. An outside oversight committee and the state’s legislative analyst have questioned the costs and operations of the existing rail authority. The analyst’s office said the pro- ject should be halted if it can’t get federal waivers to delay construction and consider starting construction closer to a coastal city. It also called for moving authority over the project into a new unit of the state Depart- ment of Transportation. Assemblywoman Bonnie Lowenthal, a Long Beach Democrat and co-author with Galgiani of the bill passed Friday, said the changes were needed to assure the project is properly managed ‘‘as it evolves from con- cept to reality.’’ Others said the concept itself is a loser, doomed to cost overruns and long-term debt. ‘‘Putting this under another bureaucracy is not the answer,’’ said Assemblywoman Diane Harkey, a Dana Point Republican. She argued that California should halt the project before construction starts.
