Thanks for pointing that out, I was going to be you did the work for me, good job
High speed rail would be nice BUT right now, we don't have the money in Florida to get caught up in what will be a drain, so our governor did his job and stuck up for the citizens of Florida.Perhaps when good times return can move forward with this.Also, people in the US who have a car generally do not want to use trains etc for most part because why do that when can come/go on your own schedule with no waiting other than traffic so as mentioned it'd end up being a drain because not enough people would use it.
More an election ploy than anything, good job Governor Scott.
