🚨 NEW: Fox’s Trace Gallagher SLAMS California Dems for spending $114 MILLION on a “bridge to nowhere” for butterflies THAT ALREADY FLY… while their $100 Billion bullet train still has ZERO track after 18 yrs! “We’d always assumed the California bullet train was the boondoggle to beat all boondoggles.” “But California is also building a bridge to nowhere. In fairness, the bridge is meant to go nowhere because it’s offering wildlife safe passage from one side. And other states have built wildlife bridges, including Colorado at a cost of $15 million.” “The California bridge is in year 4 with an estimated $114 million price tag — $77 million of which is reportedly from California taxpayers. It’s California after all; almost every boondoggle is a budget buster.” “We note this wildlife bridge is apparently most beneficial to butterflies that actually fly, don’t really need a bridge… who wants to pay for a boondoggle butterfly bridge when you can waste $100 million on a papillon passageway project… or something clever like that!”
