The results of the new reports, and the fact the U.S. DOT has not re-allocated to other states $2.4 billion in federal money Scott has rejected, could mean Florida high-speed rail is not dead yet.


Free money will get you in a lot of trouble.

Rail advocates said Scott is focusing on an anti-rail ideology rather than business and “fact-based” decisions.

U.S. Rep Kathy Castor, D-Tampa, said Wednesday that Scott “rushed to judgment” by rejecting the project.


Those statements bother me more than anything else. Name calling rather than rational discussion. On the other hand it may be the reporter thinking this is important.

Also the pushing it through bothers me. Good decisions take time. Look what they did with the health care bill. For example the supreme court ruled that immigration was a national concern not state. It took them almost 30 years to come up with a plan that generally worked pretty well.
