Today the Daily Caller reported that Governor Rick Scott is canceling the federally proposed high-speed rail line between Orlando and Tampa. The Governor stated that even with the federal subsidies, the rail line would cost Florida $3 billion, which the state could not afford. The Governor also pointed out that there was no guarantee that anyone would use the rail line if it were to be completed, meaning that the rail line would continue to cost the state money.
Congratulations to Governor Scott for being willing to take a stand against runaway government spending.
