Rail advocates said Scott is focusing on an anti-rail ideology rather than business and “fact-based” decisions.
***********************************************************
What people *might* or *might not* do in the future are not “facts”, they are projections. They are based on predicting behavior, and, as such, they are probably wrong.
If the rail advocates are right, they should invite a private consortium to build it. If its really going to be profitable, private investors will be willing to put up the money for it.
Why don’t they do it?
