In California Governor Jerry Brown's “state of the state” address today, he devoted a significant chunk of his talk to the state’s embattled high speed rail project. He says the project will move forward, despite a recent blow from an independent review group that advised legislators against funding the project.

Brown says a new business plan is in the works that will better make the case for the project, which he argues is crucial for the growing state.
