Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle will be making that awful commute up the 5 Freeway this Friday, Oct. 2, to attend a meeting of politicians and other special interests and community stakeholders who are advocating for a high speed rail system that, naturally, will have a depot in Anaheim.

The event is open to the public and will begin at 8 am at the L.A. Train Station’s Old Ticket Room.

Who: Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle, Chairman of the CHSRA Board, along with Authority Board members Lynn Schenk, Richard Katz, will join members of Congress, legislators, city and county officials, and representatives from labor, business and environmental groups in support of California’s High-Speed Rail application for American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds.

Details: Members of Congress, state legislators and local officials to outline details and illustrate the state’s unified voice in support of California’s application for $4.8 billion in federal stimulus funding for its high-speed train system under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. On the October 2 federal deadline for application, the state is proposing a dollar-for-dollar match of federal funds. The resulting nearly $10 billion investment in jobs, economic stimulus and the only true 200+ mph high-speed train in the country is expected to make California the leading contender for stimulus funding targeted at high-speed rail development.
