It get's even better. I just noticed in the article that Brown will do a ceremonial signing at LA's Union Station, and then will be "heading to" San Francisco for a second ceremonial signing.
I wonder if he's flying? Or going by motorcade up I-5? I'm also willing to bet that years from now, as the ceremonies are held for the completion of the 130-mile section from Fresno to Bakersfield, that he'll still be flying or driving. If we even get that far...

As the Central Valley absorbs most of California's growth over the next 30 years, and efficient passenger transportation between these new Central Valley commercial centers becomes critical, should we wait until the need is overdue and cost is many times higher to acquire the land and build this infrastructure?
