HSR, whether we want it or not

As I was watching Fox News the other day, they were talking about how many people lie to prove a point. You can add Gov. Jerry Brown to that list when he says the high-speed rail will cost less than $100 billion. Whether we like it or not, he is going cram it down our throats, just like his other agendas. Wake up, people -- the state of California is being "Jerry-rigged."
