It's snerk time in Florida...again.
I hate to say it because I do love the state, but
Florida seems to elect one idiot after another for governor.
"Three weeks after Gov. Rick Scott put the brakes on high-speed rail,
the Florida Department of Transportation on Wednesday released a study
showing the line connecting Tampa to Orlando would have had a $10.2
million operating surplus in 2015, its first year of operation.
The study showed the line would have had a $28.6 million surplus in its
10th year."
I'd guess Governor Scott nixed the project because he couldn't figure
out a way to personally benefit from it.
