California Ends Lawsuit Against Federal Government Over High-Speed Rail Funding
Summary
California has ended its legal battle with the federal government regarding $4 billion in funding rescinded from the state’s high-speed rail project. The California High-Speed Rail Authority filed a notice of voluntary dismissal on December 23rd in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. While the lawsuit has been dismissed, it was done “without prejudice,” indicating the possibility of refiling the case at a later date. The original lawsuit contested the Trump administration’s decision to withdraw the funds, which were initially allocated to the state for the construction of the high-speed rail line.
