This is a newspaper article about California’s proposal for a high-speed train that will travel from San Francisco to Los Angeles in less than 3 hours. I felt this proposal would be perfect for a newspaper article because the public in California needs to be educated about this information. The public needs to be informed about the decisions that California’s government will make. One way to do this is through the newspaper. This will help the government take a poll of California’s population that feels the Bullet Train would be beneficial to the economy. Readers of this article can contact the government and give them their thoughts.
California is currently in a massive budget crisis caused by the real-estate inflation and overspending. The Bullet Train will provide thousands of new jobs for Californian’s creating a steady income for thousands of families. Californians will be informed about the new jobs by researching in their local newspaper. Jobs will range from designing and building the trains and train tracks to opening new businesses along the way. Many of these job opportunities can be heard about through the newspaper. Also, the Bullet Train will create a safer and more efficient means of travel in California. The Trains will be entirely electric, reducing dependence on foreign oil by nearly 13 million barrels less per year, and also reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 12 billion pounds less per year. I am sure that Californians would love to hear that about their environment and they will be able to read about it in the newspaper.
