...Court records show that California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office filed a notice on Dec. 23 voluntarily dismissing the lawsuit without prejudice on behalf of the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA), which had been seeking to have the federal funding reinstated....

....An authority spokesperson told Fox News Digital the loss of federal funding will not derail the project or construction because most of the funding comes from the state through the voter-approved Proposition 1A and the Cap-and-Invest program.

Cali is a joke. Blatant corruption, cheating, criminality and dishonesty have become the hallmark of Cali.

What a pathetic laugh.

Discovery is a !@#$%.

Better to drop the lawsuit than have all their crimes exposed.

I'd say that's EXACTLY why the suit was dropped.

CaCaLand voters voted down funding the BTrain. But, a judge ruled that such votes did not matter as it is the Assembly that decides such stuff: not peasants.

There is as much honest voting in CaCaLand as in Ukraine.

Let them wallow in it, the voters asked for it and continue to vote for the thieves.
