These 26 political hacks and looters are trying to run around the will of the Governor and the residents of Florida who do not want this boondoggle project and the enormous tax burden that comes with it. These 26 senators are at the top of my FL vote the bums out list.
Kick them out! If they want this train, let them fund it with their own money and leave FL taxpayers out of it!
I believe that is stealing. They should be prosecuted. Nothing but a pack of thieves trying to keep their gravy trains going.
The train scheme reminds me of the “Monorail” Simpsons episode.
If they do it like this will this mean the state is off the hook for future costs?
They are also introducing a bill to recall Gov. Scott expressing his lack of experience, blah, blah, blah. The same crap that didn’t work during the campaign. I suppose if they get millions from the Fed to run this recall campaign maybe it will work this time. The will of the people be damned!
Proving that both parties are as corrupt as hell.
High speed was turned down by refferendum here in Florida a few years ago.
Course why would anyone expect politicians to follow the will of the people.
Just shut up and move along, Gubmint knows what is best for you peasants.
Scott is kicking ass. We will primary out a lot of the RINO Republicans. This crazed obsession with the stupid train is just incredible. None of the locals want it.
I want the nmes of the 16 Rs. They need to hearfrom the TEA PARTY.
We’ve voted these trains down I think three times. But all the Feds have to do is dangle a juicy carrot of funds to these RINOs. We have to pay this 3 billion back to the feds. Meanwhile these lucky public servants all seem to get wealthier while serving. All their buddies do too.
I thought for once we had a guy who could stop this madness. Now Crist, Sink, 10 Republican state senators along with a half a dozen democrats are trying to maneuver a coo of sorts and govern outside of Tallahassee.
This seems criminal to me. They are running this State into the ground. We are out of money.
I heard about it yesterday. Bill Nelson is in on the scam. I just do not get the socialists obsession with the stupid train that nobody wants or needs. Why are they so fanatical about it? Is it just the free money or another reason?
No, it means there will be much fanfare and pageantry from the federal government and representatives when the project gets the initial funds.
Then the fed-level folks will skip on along to their next sound bite, and let the state government take the heat for wasteful spending when the money runs out, the project lies half-finished, and the operating costs play Pac-Man with the state budget.
The companies selling trains are spreading a lot of money around.
Wonder if G.E. has its hands in the pie?
Not to mention they’ll charge $20 for the tickets, per person one way. Wanna take your family of 4 to disney? That’ll be $160 just for transportation.
I’m sure GE is in there someplace. Buncha criminals.
Whoever it is has gotten to a lot of entrenched Republican State Senators. We will have to remove them in the next primary.
