Trudy de Groot: Forget bullet train, build a water pipeline

Why is Gov. Jerry Brown so set on this bullet train? He better use the money for a water pipe from the north so we have water. If the drought stays, we will have no farmers, no jobs for workers, no food, no money. Everyone will go to another state. So who is going to use the bullet train? Gov. Brown, start thinking and do something good for California.

Trudy de Groot, Patterson
