The bad news about HSR continues unabated. See link to Whittier Daily News opinion article below. And now the Assembly
has passed a bill (AB1608) to hide the issues plaguing this fiasco. Assemblywoman Lisa Calderon voted for this bill.
Extract from the Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
“The bill would authorize the Inspector General to hold that report, or a
portion of that report, confidential, as specified, if it the Inspector General determines that the report, or portion of the report, would describe or
otherwise reveal weaknesses that would pose a substantial and articulable
risk to the project or to state operations if publicly disclosed. If the Inspector General makes that determination, the bill would require the Inspector
General, among other things, to deliver a confidential report to state officials with oversight of the project, as specified.”
