Aikane Leo's blog has a great post on the CSX fiasco. Under the title: "Another sorry week in CSX-land" he covers the press coverage of the over $600 million our state is giving CSX. The state is also taking full liability if the trains crash, at least for a little while, then it falls on the local community, so CSX has no real obligation to maintain the trains.
I fully support mass transit, and I think Florida needs mass transit. Trains could revolutionize our state, and our tourism. But, in the middle of a budget crisis, where every dollar counts, we can't be funding pork, or special interest pet projects.
Good post Jim.
