chicagotribune.com/2024/04/22/rail-spikes-hammered-bullet-train-being-built-from-sin-city-to-the-city-of-angels/
Quick Glance: Building Commences on High-Speed Rail Line Between Sin City and City of Angels
- Work is set to begin on a $12 billion high-speed passenger rail line between Las Vegas and the Los Angeles area.
- Brightline West aims to lay 218 miles of new track between a terminal south of the Las Vegas Strip and a new facility in Rancho Cucamonga, California.
- The project is touted as the nation's first true high-speed passenger rail line, designed to reach speeds of 186 mph comparable to Japan’s Shinkansen bullet trains.
- The trains will offer restrooms, Wi-Fi, food and beverage sales, and luggage check options, with an expected 11 million passengers per year and fares well below airline travel costs.
3 Northern California law enforcement officers charged in death of man held facedown on the ground
apnews.com/article/california-police-charged-mario-gonzalez-death-3dd7a9d1ada9311f0c75ac3a6f7ea09f
Quick Glance: Charges Brought Against 3 Officers in California Man's Death
- Three law enforcement officers face legal charges regarding the passing of a man in Northern California who was restrained facedown on the ground for an extended period.
- The Alameda County District Attorney's Office announced the filing of involuntary manslaughter charges against the officers on Thursday, coinciding with the third anniversary of Mario Gonzalez's demise.
- Following a thorough examination of the case, the current DA's office, under Pamela Price, proceeded with the charges in efforts to restore faith in a justice system that has not consistently been equitable to Alameda County residents.
- While one of the trio of officers is no longer part of the department, the remaining two have been put on administrative leave. The legal representative for the officers criticized the charges, labeling them as politically driven, while no immediate statements were provided by the police department, police union, or Gonzalez's family lawyers.
