TRANSDEF and its
allies Kings
County, Kings County Farm Bureau, California Citizens
for High-Speed Rail Accountability, Community
Coalition on High-Speed Rail, California Rail
Foundation, and Dignity Health today filed the Opening Brief in
their appeal of the federal Surface Transportation
Board’s Declaratory Order. That decision eliminated
the California High-Speed Rail Authority’s need to
comply with CEQA, due to the STB’s assertion of
federal preemption of all federal, state, and local
regulations pertaining to interstate railroads. See
the Briefs.
