The head of California’s High Speed Rail project joins us. Also, CalMatters shares how the massive transportation project could reshape the Central Valley. Finally, the Sacramento Public Library hosts the disability film festival “Superfest.”

 What’s up with California’s High Speed Rail?

California’s High Speed Rail project has been the source of public scrutiny for years thanks to budget-busting financial overruns, mismanagement and delays. Just a few weeks ago, the Biden administration pumped another $3 billion into the project, which won’t be ready for another several years, and that’s just Phase 1 from Bakersfield to Merced. Today on Insight, we take a deep dive into the high speed rail with CEO Brian Kelly. Plus, we are joined with CalMatters’ Commentary Editor, Yousef Baig with his reporting on how high-speed rail could help re-shape the future of the Central Valley.
