Did California bullet train officials ignore warning about need for taxpayer money?

When a Spanish firm submitted a bid last year to help build the California bullet train, it cautioned that taxpayer money probably would be needed to keep the system operating. That warning, however, was expunged from the version of Ferrovial's proposal posted on the state's website. Los Angeles Times [6-20]>>
