  • I can't believe you are even entertaining these idiots from the past. They can't manage a suberb and you want to give them billions to throw at a worthless transit system. Look, this project was bit off, chewed and digested with Jeb Bush ten years ago. It was more than determined agreed then that the costs were so poorly estimated at over $100 BILLION PLUS 2.5 BILLION LOSS PER YEAR, PLUS the French were to build it, plus, the French were to maintain it. You know what ? SCREW THE FRENCH. These guys on Helen's show are in the biz and in no way care two hoots about anything concerning our well being. They are the foxes being asked how many chickens we should stock in the henhouse. They also know that they were going to fix Metrorail...never happened. It loses money every year, big money....our taxes. And now they want more hi speed rails for the short drive from Tampa to Orlando? They are insane at best. Helen did not get the job done. Patronizing these people when it concerns billions and billions is not an effective interview , especially when it's a rehash of a project canned many years ago. There was plenty of info available and unused for this show . Finally, do you think anyone in Florida wants our jobs and money going to a French Company? Get with it people!!! Fix the existing rail routes then we can talk. Hello!!! Even Amtrak has never posted a profit and especially now, when the economy is tanked you would even consider this fiasco? OMG!!!! These people need to change their job descriptions to Walmart cashier.

Description:

Talks of a high-speed rail system traveling through Florida have increased recently due to the availability of federal stimulus funds.  We gathered a panel to discuss the current Tampa-Orlando rail proposal and the future of mass transit in Florida.
