High-speed rail.

For now high-speed rail is dead in central Florida. This is because Gov. Scott refused to take the money from the federal government that was already approved for high-speed rail. Was this a wise decision I don't think so. This could have created thousands of jobs and eased our burden on the highways. The people against high-speed rail say we can add more lanes to I-4 with this money. Yes you could add more lanes but then you would just have 8 lanes of traffic jams rather than 4. The rail was to run from Tampa to Orlando the people on the left say you can drive to Tampa in an hour and a half. This may be true if you do not run into a traffic jam from an accident which happens all too often on this route. High-speed trains in Europe have been very successful they could have been here to but were not given a chance by Gov. Scott. I understand he may also veto the commuter train planned for the Orlando area. If this happens it will be a giant step backwards. People like Gov. Scott do not have to worry about sitting in traffic jams as they are millionaires. But let us remember all of these bad decisions when he runs for a second term.
