Legal Trend: Archeologists Get Involved in Rail Opposition

A nonprofit group of archeologists in Florida are vocalizing opposition to a high speed rail plan because the high speed rail will block their ability to recover artifacts. Other opposition includes:

• block access to artifacts in known exploration areas
• constant train noise pollution
• damage to wildlife
• slow down emergency response times

Their lawsuit in federal court asks the court to void the bonds backing the high speed rail.  Courthouse News Service
