    What have I been saying folks, HSR=SUnRail=Amtrak. He can cut the FEC project using the same criteria and I expect he will. However, both of these projects, HSR and SunRail were approved by previous legislatures and so if Florida is to have any checks and balances in Government, Scott cannot simply decree they be stopped. If he wants to be "King Scott", then King Scott best be impeached before irrepariable harm is done.

      The vehicle for his removal is the recall provision. There's a move afoot to do just this.

      He needs to get on the next train out of Tally, and to keep going back to some nice fraudulent healtcare company. Unfortunately, no trains out of Tally right now!

        If the petition drive for Scott's recall is active on National Train day, let's get some signatures!

    Only an egotist would impose new executive order laws without even havng a vote approval of the legislature, there's the consequence of supporting that "small government" concept, get the wrong person in office, and Florida runs the rsik of a dictatorshio now in the governor's office.
