I, personally, do not see a need for a high speed train between Tampa and Orlando.

You would still need some form of public transportation once you got to either place. The depot would probably be downtown.

People look at a huge figure for "free government money" being offered for the project. Look at future costs that it will cost you as a Florida taxpayer. Look at the mess it will cause in construction. It is not going to be completed in a snap of the fingers but will take time and real construction on the highway.

No thank you!!! It really hurts me to say that I think Rick Scott has the right idea.
