Newsom Said He Was "Finally Laying the Tracks." His Inspector General Says No Track Has Been Laid

Newsom said California was "finally laying the tracks" on high-speed rail. His own Inspector General says that's not true.

This week on California Underground: a CBS News investigation shows the state's own paperwork contradicts two of Governor Newsom's biggest claims about the $4 billion high-speed rail funding fight β€” including a direct, on-the-record correction from his own Inspector General. Then, California's Democratic Party wraps its summer convention having endorsed the billionaire tax on the November ballot, even though its own governor and its own nominee for governor both say they're voting no β€” and its own base landed on the opposite side of a separate measure that 73% of voters support. And hours before we go live, California's Assembly Republicans ousted their own Minority Leader β€” one day after a report revealed he's facing two separate state ethics investigations.

No team. Just receipts.
