I've worked his campaigns and he speaks often about these things that ALL tie together.

We need high speed rail, more renewable energy, a revived economy, and the education programs to support the new jobs needed to pull it all together.

What we don't have, yet, is resolve across the aisle.

I grew up in CA, and lived there until 8 years ago. I'm glad to see my former state shining the light.

I think CA can lead the way. We have a governor and SSPI who both get it on education. To get education right, we need innovation...for sure...but teachers are the ones who will lead the way (and light those fires).
