If our experience would have been anything like what's happening in California, Gov. Scott did all Floridians an immense favor is squashing the attempts to build a high speed rail system in Florida.

The California project was rife with exaggerated benefits, false promises, and lowball cost estimates, all for a transportation system which will have the population of California subsidizing the travel of the relatively few who will take advantage of it, if it ever is actually completed.

You can click a link to the proponents side of the California high speed story where their argument, to me, is a whining "but we neeeeed it".

Gov. Scott, like the governors of Wisconsin and Ohio saved the taxpayers of Florida a lot of grief, in my opinion.
