Bipartisan suit to force Scott to accept High-speed rail funds.

The man is a lawsuit magnet. Already:

http://www.news-press.com/article/20110301/NEWS0107/110301031/Florida-lawsuit-says-Scott-must-take-rail-money?odyssey=tab%7Ctopnews%7Ctext%7CHome

Altman and Joyner's petition says Scott acted outside of his power by rejecting the project passed by the Legislature in a December 2009 special session. That legislation created Florida Rail Enterprise as well as the means to raise money for operating the high-speed rail project.


Not holding my breath, but it's a fine idea.

1. How many lawsuits has he got at this point?

- Redistricting Amendment

- Light rail

- Pill mills?

He's certainly off to a brisk start.

2. I'll never figure out how this clown got elected.




By now most people know what a bumbling con man he is.
Apparently that was not the case in November.

3. Irrational hatred of anyone with a "D" after their name is the only thing that comes to mind. And,

he sounds slightly less-psycho on television than his actions would suggest.

But then, this is hardly the first time the Florida electorate has embarrassed us all.

4. Hopeful SC of Fl will agree with the voters!
It is needed to relieve the horrible traffic on I-4. The voters of Fl voted for it, about time we got it.

5. FLHSR is dead
and likely so is my current job. I've been working on HSR since notice-to-proceed July 13, 2010. Today, I wrapped up and went home early. I'll be cleaning off my desk and filing papers Monday, waiting for that company meeting.
