California’s slow ballot count isn’t just a political disgrace. It’s also a symbol of how California does everything: late, if at all. The high-speed rail was approved in 2008, to connect San Francisco to Los Angeles by 2020. Not one inch of track has been laid. The Sites reservoir was originally proposed in the 1950s. It was only approved this year, and nothing has been built. The Delta tunnels were proposed decades ago. Now the project is down to just one tunnel, and it may never be dug.
