The taxpayers of California won a small battle in Madera County yesterday. After three hours of hearing from speakers against the High Speed Rail project, the Madera County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 to stop the boondoggle in its tracks. Just a few weeks ago, the Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 in favor of the High Speed Rail project. Thanks to the efforts of the Central Valley Tea Party, MID in Chowchilla and Madera, California and Madera Farm Bureau, California Citizens for High Speed Rail Accountability, Madera Industrial Committee and the taxpaying citizens that spoke out against the project, the Board of Supervisors voted against the High Speed Rail project.
