A Sacramento Judge ruled Tuesday that the project does NOT violate promises made to voters when they approved project financing. But the judge's ruling said nothing about whether the rail project will be financially viable or if it can meet the travel times voters were promised. Opponents like State Senator Andy Vidak went ahead and introduced a bill that allows people to buy back their property that's no longer in the right of High Speed Rail. He says property owners shouldn't have to rely on estimates.
Vidak's SB 940 would give property owners the right of first refusal to buy back their property or require the state to sell or exchange the property he claims the state purchased or took from them.
