(SACRAMENTO) – Assemblyman Rich Gordon (Menlo Park) issued the following statement in response to the High-Speed Rail Peer Review Group’s report release today.

“The Peer Review Group has always provided thoughtful analysis of issues related to high-speed rail.  Their current response on the High-Speed Rail Business Plan is fairly critical, and as the debate over high-speed rail continues in Sacramento, their comments will need to be fully considered.  I look forward to also hearing the response of the High-Speed Rail Authority to the Peer Review report.”
