The dust hasn’t settled yet on the State of the State speech, and over the years I have become a committed believer in letting the dust settle.  The initial reaction from many is that HSR is dead, but I don’t think the story is over.  In the next few days RailPAC will be contacting State and other officials to try and get the inside story.  The Los Angeles Times is already using the word “postponement”, and that’s the way it’s beginning to look for us.  Keep in touch with RailPAC as we provide an in depth analysis in the next few days.  There is more to this than the headlines.
