State AG Argues for LandOwners

What is happening? In the ongoing litigation for whether a high speed rail project in Texas has the power of eminent domain, the State Attorney General Office offered an argument to the Texas Supreme Court that sides with landowners and the rules of grammar. The AG office says ““The rules of grammar confirm that the Respondents are not railroad companies,” 

Why is this important? Some say the power of eminent domain is required to complete the project.

How will this be important? A ruling would guide other talked about rail projects in Texas.
