Senator LaMalfa's blog and website
Money Train American Spectator
Lamalfa is quoted in this american Spectator piece on the state's proposed high-speed rail system... perfect example of the gap between the promise of transformational liberalism and the reality of big government.... The project will rise or fall based on federal commitments, a reality that spurred California state senator Doug LaMalfa to visit Washington in early January to make a rather unusual request for a state legislator.

"I know they're not used to this, but I asked them to stop sending us money," LaMalfa, a Republican, said. "Please stop sending us money....When they send us money, it actually costs us money."
