The item is currently on the Nov. 2006 CA ballot. $9 billion in general obligation bonds would be available to get the project started. The cost right now to get the first line is around $30 billion. Unfortunately, the federal government cannot afford to provide the matching funds, due to spending several times that amount on the Iraq debacle.
