Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom would redirect high-speed rail funding
The lieutenant governor doesn’t typically align with Republicans. But during an appearance on a conservative radio program, Newsom embraced a position the GOP has championed in Sacramento: Reallocating voter-approved high-speed rail bond money toward other projects.
Newsom’s stance reflects widespread public skepticism about the high-speed rail project. A 2011 Field Poll found nearly two-thirds of voters advocated another vote on a $9 billion bond issue for the project, with a clear majority saying they would vote down the funding measure voters had passed just three years prior.
“I think I’m where the public was and is,” Newsom said during his radio appearance.
“I am not the only Democrat that feels this way,” he added. “I gotta tell you, I am one of the few that just said it publicly. Most are now saying it privately.”

I know a couple of package drivers who wear shorts year round here. Even in sub zero temperatures. Insane but they work at UPS so say no more.
Going to be near 90 degrees here tomorrow ( thursday ) of course, moreluck will say its only 65 degrees, but nonetheless, it will be HOT in the middle of winter!

Yes, it was nice and cool today, but still above normal. Of course, it was below normal in other places.
