SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — In the latest challenge to California’s $68 billion high-speed-rail project, Kings County and a group of its residents filed another lawsuit against the bullet train Thursday, alleging continued violations of California’s Environmental Quality Act and several other state laws.
In the lawsuit filed in Sacramento County Superior Court, the county, Citizens for California High Speed Rail Accountability and the Kings County Farm Bureau allege that the California High-Speed Rail Authority “abused its discretion and violated the law” in approving a massive environmental review of the 114-mile segment from Fresno to Bakersfield.
