The Fresno County Board of Supervisors reversed course on Tuesday morning, voting to officially oppose California's controversial high speed rail project.
The 3-2 vote comes just days after contractors working for the rail authority began demolishing buildings in Fresno to make way for the train.
Since 2007, the county has officially held a position in support of the project, though in 2012 the supervisors sent a letter to the authority that was critical of the effort.
The board also voted to file a legal brief in support of a Hanford farmer's suit against the rail authority.
