"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Gov. Rick Scott Supports Controversial Rail Project on Florida’s East Coast
Submitted by Emmett Harris on Tue, 2014-06-10 00:00
“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.”
