Judge Denies Request to Block Calif. High-Speed Rail Construction
Though injunction refused, legal case can still move forward
A judge has denied a request from Central Valley farmers to temporarily block California's ambitious high-speed rail project.
Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Timothy Frawley on Friday denied a request for a preliminary injunction to halt the $68 billion infrastructure project.
Groups representing Central Valley farmers claim that the California High-Speed Rail Authority should have to halt all planning and engineering work because the state violated environmental laws.
