Gov. Rick Scott Supports Controversial Rail Project on Florida’s East Coast

“Gov. Rick Scott, who faced intense criticism for rejecting federal money for high-speed rail from Tampa to Orlando, has new train troubles for favoring a controversial rail project on Florida’s east coast.” I was surprised to read that the project is “a private passenger rail venture.” Then, later in the article my momentary hopes were dashed by this: “The budget Scott signed last week includes most of the $214 million All Aboard Florida needs for a passenger station at Orlando International Airport.”
