Letter: Attorney General Becerra’s childish actions cost us $1 billion

And the state may have to pay back another $2.5 billion in federal grants that California has already spent.

AG Becerra’s childish efforts
cost us $1B, possibly more

Re: “Feds take back nearly $1B from bullet train” (Page C10, May 17):

State Attorney General Xavier Becerra should feel proud that he has filed 50 lawsuits against the Trump administration.

This childish sour-grapes effort has cost the state about $1 billion in pulled funding of the misfired bullet train debacle. And it risks the state having to pay back another $2.5 billion in 2022 for federal grants for the project California has already spent.

You get what you get (or don’t get, in this case) when you poke the bear.
