Only an incredibly loopy progressive could come up with FL Dem. Sen. Bill Nelson’s latest arguments again courageous and correct Gov. Bill Scott’s decision to turn down the porked-up bullet train to nowhere.
In a Miami Herald editorial, Scott makes mistaken decision, Nelson argued:
Under this [new] plan, Florida would accept the $2.4 billion federal grant. The state would transfer the money over to a new legal entity made up of city officials from along the first leg of the route between Orlando and Tampa.
This new entity, called the Florida Regional High Speed Rail Commission, would then enter into a contract with the private companies that would design, build, operate, maintain and finance the rest of the operation.
Furthermore, these private entities would be the ones to face financial repercussions if the system ever faltered. In other words, there would be no financial risk to Florida taxpayers.
Where does anyone come up with a loopy progressive misdirection like “there would be no financial risk to the Florida taxpayers”?
What about the misguided who assume their leaders are always right and make the sad mistake of buying stock in or otherwise financing the soon-to-be-bankrupt “private entities”?
Worse yet! What about the inevitable progressive bailout of those private entities or the “Florida Regional High Speed Rail Commission?
Come on, Bill. Sell your bridge some other way somewhere else!
