Long story short, the Feds decide to give us roughly two billion dollars to build a high-speed rail route from Tampa to Orlando. For those unaware, TPA-ORL is basically the Northeast Corridor for Florida. I-4 is clogged coming into Tampa or Orlando, and Lakeland tends to choke up the road at the midpoint. At any given time near rush hour, the road becomes blockaded - either a crash or too many vehicles causes it.
Rail would have alleviated those issues somewhat and helped bring a lot of new jobs to the state. Since we're primarily a tourism economy, having SOME kind of industry to base ourselves on would be really great. Rick Scott decided to kill off the program, with the excuse that it might screw over taxpayers if it ends up like Tri-Rail in south Florida. For those unaware, Tri-Rail doesn't make up its operating expenses without government assistance.
So we have these "tea party" idiots running around without a leash in our state, electing people like Rick Scott, who kill off vital programs that the majority of the state wants.
Also, for your consideration:
