I am one of the few that just said it publicly," Newsom is quoted as saying, adding that many other Democrats feel the same way but are afraid to defy Gov. Brown and President Barack Obama, who has also strongly supported high-speed rail development.Polls now show that most Californians now oppose the high-speed rail project.

ReplyDeleteWe should all be so silly. In 1955, Brown entered Santa Clara University for a year, and left to attend Sacred Heart Novitiate, a Jesuit seminary, intent on becoming a Catholic priest. Brown left the seminary after three years, enrolling at the University of California, Berkeley in 1960, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1961. Brown went on to Yale Law School and graduated with a Juris Doctor in 1964. After law school, Brown worked as a law clerk for California Supreme Court Justice Mathew Tobriner.
