Nice video. Too bad it’s low res.
HSR is yet another scheme for the well connected to drill into taxpayer wallets.

Rick is RIGHT.
Project is not needed and will not be used by very many people.
The State would be on the hook for cost overruns that will surely be there as sure as the sun rises.
If they got into the project and then find that they don't have the $$ to complete, they would then be required to return the entire $2.4B

This is HORRIBLE!
Just imagine all of the political favors that were promised but can’t be delivered. Think of all of the political contributions (bribes) that were paid to insure that their favorite politician “was in the tank” with the special interests that gave them.
This is just terrible! It might even mean that these corrupt politicians might have to give back some of their campaign money to those “special” contributors. Just horrible...just terrible!

IMO this will be a big case regarding precedent. I have no doubt that a lib judge will try to compel the guvnuh to take all those billions because he is owned by the machine, but in the end, neither the legislature nor judiciary can make the governor take money for anything. That is really simular to obamacare making citizens buy something. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Either side will appeal the judges decision, BTW!

High Speed rail to where?
Why can’t these state senators just go to Disney World and ride the monorail for a day or two?

IMO this will be a big case regarding precedent.I agree.
Walker is holding the line in WI (and with a few wobbly WI GOPs).
Scott is holding the line in FL (and with a few wobbly WI GOPs).

Great post. Thanks for the alert. My guess is that Crist was in on this scheme...

Florida news!
Oral arguments in the case are set for 3 p.m. today. Both sides have asked the court to rule by Friday.
The Supreme Court of Florida should have rejected this entire suit...the question is a POLITICAL one, not a JUDICIAL one.
I hope Scott has a plan to kill this project if the Robed Masters in Black rule against him.
To: bronxville
..My guess is that Crist was in on this scheme...I imagine he was and why he had to twist himself every which way trying to keep political clout to help push this through.

Pam Iorio is really pissing me off. Saw her on the local news this morning pimping this suit. I guess she needs a big cash infusion for her next political campaign and so sees this HSR scam as her meal ticket.

HSR is about one thing and one thing only: The control of the sheep[people]. There will be a few politically connected individuals that will make[steal] a lot of taxpayer money. But initial and main thrust is the control of the sheep by the politicans. Communisism or Socialism comes to mind.
