SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A San Rafael-based group that opposes California’s high-speed rail project filed a lawsuit Monday contesting the state’s plan to fund it with money from a greenhouse gas emissions program, arguing that building the $68 billion bullet train would create more pollution than it would reduce for at least a decade.
The Transportation Solutions Defense and Education Fund filed the lawsuit in Fresno County Superior Court against the California Air Resources Board, the state agency responsible for ensuring California meets the emissions reduction targets in its landmark global warming law, AB32.
