High-Speed Rail Project Under Scrutiny Amid CEO's Leave

Ian Choudri, CEO of California High-Speed Rail Authority, took administrative leave after Feb. 4 arrest in Folsom for domestic violence suspicion.
Authority says Choudri agreed to leave so board and transportation agency can review the situation.
District Attorney's Office won't file charges due to insufficient evidence after juvenile victim involved.
Chief of Staff Mark Tollefson will temporarily fill the role as board meets on March 4.
Project faces scrutiny as costs near $120 billion.
Choudri earned $563,000 last year and took leave after appearing with Gavin Newsom.
