On the heels of Independence Day, let's remember how much we have to celebrate, especially our freedom and our community. Read the latest 5th District news in this week's edition of Keeping up with Kathryn: mailchi.mp/bos/independenceday2019
Florida Flashback Friday: This week, I joined a delegation of California officials for an up-close look at the Virgin Trains USA operations in Florida. This is the first privately constructed, operated, and maintained intercity rail system built in over 100 years. The system is illustrative of what the company intends to construct between Las Vegas and Victorville in the coming months. The High Desert Corridor, a North Los Angeles County priority project, will be the way we'll connect with the Virgin Trains project. Ultimately, this will bring a first-ever high speed train connection between Los Angeles and Las Vegas!
