LETTER: California doesn’t care about Interstate 15 traffic

In response to your Saturday editorial on California and Interstate 15:

When you have a one-party government, like California has, the citizens reap the demise of accommodations for the majority of the population. California public agencies are interested only in the interests of the majority (Democrat) officials and their ability to make life harder for the populace.

Because politicians have their own transportation supplied by the state, they do not have to drive places, therefore spending money improving Interstate 15 is not even on their agenda. The thinking is that, because Brightline is planning to build the high-speed rail line between Rancho Cucamonga and Las Vegas, there is no need to divert money from the latest social diversity experiment to improve the highway. I am amazed that they even opened the shoulder lane at all.

LETTER: Highways will go the way of the horse and buggy

I personally can’t wait to give up the soporific scenery, racetrack-like mentality and beautiful Baker bathroom stops of the Interstate 15 car commute in favor of a sleek, smooth train.
