From U-T San Diego:
The California High-Speed Rail Authority is on the brink of an obnoxious abuse of power.
The state agency’s push to build a statewide $68 billion bullet-train network has stalled because of court rulings that the project has an illegal business plan, primarily because of grossly inadequate long-term funding. Those rulings — which prevent billions of dollars in state funds from being used for initial construction — are now being reviewed on an expedited basis by a state appeals court. Before taking any consequential action, the responsible thing for the state government to do is resolve the legal issues.
