It seems that the peer review group that was set up by the legislature to check the feasibility and reasonableness of the plan failed it. No surprise to me. There's been a sharp drop in public support for the project as people have learned that they were lied to by the proponents of the high speed rail line about how much it would cost, how long it would take and how many jobs it would produce. Maybe they can start a new commission to see if the proponents of high speed rail ever told the truth about any part of the project before they put it to the public's vote?

"Gov. Jerry Brown has said he intends to ask the Legislature this month to appropriate and sell bonds to raise billions of dollars to start construction of the project.
But that plan is facing an increasingly skeptical Legislature and general public. And now, lawmakers would have to disregard the recommendation of the very group it directed to guide it on the project if they decide to approve the bond issue."
