First it was allegations of abuse of the State aircraft. Now she has really hit a nerve in Central Florida.
Here’s a Press Release sent out from her office:
Tallahassee – Florida CFO Alex Sink today commended Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer for his announcement that SunRail is extending their negotiating period, keeping alive Central Florida’s aspirations for commuter rail. Below is a statement from CFO Sink:
“Commuter rail is so important for Central Florida, and it is my hope that with this extended negotiating period worked out by Mayor Dyer, a reasonable deal can be structured for the taxpayers of our state.
“I am encouraged that this amended plan comes at a time when the federal government’s commitment to high speed and commuter rail will mean a better financial deal and additional money, reducing the burden for Floridians.
“I am also pleased that Mayor Dyer has expressed his desire to involve risk management experts and attorneys from the Department of Financial Services in the liability provision discussions.”
Ordinarily this wouldn’t be important, However Orange County voters have voted SunRail down 3 times. The Florida Legislature has voted it down twice. And now we have Alex Sink saying that the commending Buddy Dyer over forcing SunRail on the citizens of Orlando and Orange County.
Personally, I’m not sure that Sink understand that’s she needs to carry the entire I-4 Corridor to WIN the Governorship. My thought on this, She just put another nail in the coffin with Central Florida voters.

I think the SunRail should go all over Florida. I think it’s a fantastic idea and long, long, long overdue! They need to begin construction sooner and have stops in between, especially where they are building the college near Lakeland! Hurry up!

obviously you have not researched SunRail. This project was way overpriced for only 61 miles of track from Deland to Orlando. It would not go to Lakeland at all. I take it that you are in favor of the state spending tax money needlessly as well?
