Set us as preferred California’s clean truck and bus incentive program was designed to expand the zero-emission vehicle market and improve air quality in heavily polluted communities. But the $1-billion program has been roiled by allegations of fraud, waste and poor oversight. Although state officials insist California’s clean truck and bus subsidy program has helped reduce air pollution and planet-warming gases, a Times investigation found that those claims rely heavily on assumptions and estimates, instead of actual data. Some state-funded trucks and buses were rarely driven due to issues with vehicle performance and maintenance. In at least one case, California paid nearly $1 million in public funds for “vehicles that did not exist,” according to court records.

‘The hardest years of my life’: Cambridge scientist David Sabatini speaks out after courtroom victory
But the latest development — when a Suffolk County jury last week unanimously awarded him $6 million in damages in his civil lawsuit against Knouse, while dismissing her claims of retaliation and harassment against him — are scenes he describes in vivid detail. How the light went off on the court officer’s desk, indicating the jury had reached a verdict. How the clerk passed the envelope with their decision to the judge, and then back to the foreperson who read each count aloud. How he did not react to the announcement of damages awarded to him, but grabbed his brother’s hand as all of Knouse’s counts were dismissed. “I don’t know if I still believe it, to be honest with you,” he said in a phone interview Sunday. Knouse, contacted through her lawyer, Ellen Zucker, declined to comment. She will appeal the ruling, Zucker said. The last five years, as Sabatini fell from a prominent biologist who generated Nobel Prize buzz to an outsider who schools refused to work with, were “the hardest years of my life,” he said.
