CastroJoseph E. ReyesAuthority has nothing to showfor it but a plan that violates thewritten bond measure that waspassed,” said LaMalfa. "This rulingis a victory for voters and areminder that California's governentmust abide by its ownlaws, regardless of what somepoliticians think.”While voters were promised asystem connecting Sacramento,San Francisco, Los Angeles andSan Diego for about $34 billion,the Authority's plan costs overtwice as much and would reachfrom near San Francisco to nearLos Angeles.
