CEO's gone; High-Speed Rail still plans to lay first tracks this year. Does it need the win?

The recent resignation of its CEO hasn’t changed the California High-Speed Rail Authority ’s plan to lay the project’s first tracks by the end of year, says the head of the agency’s board, a milestone that could improve the public image of the often-maligned project.
