Russ and I were up in the city on Friday at the de Young museum where Russ happened to run into S.F. Chronicle columnist Phil Matier. Matier (of Matier & Ross) is very plugged into the political circle well beyond EssEff. Russ being an enterprising activist/journalist asked Matier when high-speed rail would die. Phil's response was "right after Governor Brown leaves office". Without further elaboration from the source, I would interpret that to mean there is enough back channel chatter from the crop of wannabe governors that all the challenges to HSR that we talk about here at the Voice are well-recognized. One can only hope!

Please tell that to Gavin Newsom, who was against it before he was for it.

Maybe once he gets Brownie's endorsement and elected he will be against it again.

Here is a link to a petition to stop HSR from LA to SF. What the hay! http://unitedslate.samaltman.com/index.html
