The authors of the various Financial Reports regarding the California's proposed High-Speed Rail project have released a series of one-page briefs addressing claims frequently made by proponents of the California High-Speed Rail project. Each Briefing Note counters a specific claim and contains extensive footnotes and quotations from various sources. The Briefing Notes are focused on matters of subsidies, costs, jobs and other financial issues. They do not address local issues with the possible exception of matters related to the imminent construction in the Central Valley.

The subpage below contains copies of all the Brief Notes, in chronological order.
