Enjoy Bob!

Didn't he try to scrap the whole thing?!
No. He eventually went along with Sunrail and killed HSR.

The agreement between CSX and Sunrail and FDOT was already 90 percent complete by the time Scott was elected. The only thing he could have done was block the $30 million xfer to CSX which he didnt. Mostly because the same money is being invested in Jaxport by CSX.
And you know Scott gets votes in Jacksonville.
