The Shark Tank: Governor Scott Kills High-Speed Rail, Takes Heat from Senate Republicans

The article indicates that Governor Scott used a great deal of common sense and saw that the risks of high speed rail far outweighed any potential benefits.  The people of Florida just can't afford it.  The news that I find appalling is that 26 of our state senators have written the governor a letter rebuking him for turning away the federal money for this project and they have also written to Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood "practically begging him not to give the money to another state". 

 

Guess we better put some heat on these senators.  The names of all of them are below if you click on the link to the letter to the Department of Transportation letter link.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
