Upcoming High-Speed Rail Discussion

Assemblymember Cathleen Galgiani (D-Livingston, near Merced), a leader in promoting the development of California’s first-ever high-speed rail system, will speak about the project’s progress and challenges. Local aspects and impacts will be addressed. Q&A, as always, to follow.

Further discussion of the Campaign for New Priorities is also on the agenda, with Sandra Schwartz returning to answer questions.

We may also have a quick discussion and vote on the CA DISCLOSE Act, legislation about to move through the Assembly. The Club has already endorsed a resolution supporting the concept: the public should be informed who is really paying for political ads – clearly and unequivocally, on the ads themselves.

Apropos of all this endorsing, we will also be considering amending the Bylaws to address PHDC’s endorsement process with respect to non-election issues.
