    California mayors revolt over Newsom bullet train plan they warn could ‘raid’ local tax bases

    California mayors, including Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer, oppose Governor Gavin Newsom's high-speed rail project, warning it could legally and fiscally exploit local tax bases to fund the $126 billion system. The 2026 Draft Business Plan proposes redirecting local tax revenues near rail stations, which mayors argue undermines local governance and constitutional protections. The California High-Speed Rail Authority denies finalizing such a plan but acknowledges exploring funding tools.
