AntonioFP45 and others have hit on the solution. <br /> <br />If someone would come up with a proposal for a 90-100MPH system that could use some existing right of way, and be honest with the populace that it was going to require big local, state and federal bucks, and that it was never going to be profitable but was needed, I'd vote for it, and I think a lot of others would, too. <br /> <br />But we were asked to bankroll a high-rolling millionaire's pipe dream, and it was not unexpected that, once the voters realized what was up, they'd flush it. <br /> <br />BTW, for those who complain about the No vote to pass it and Yes vote to kill it as being some underhanded political machinations, turn your sights elsewhere. <br /> <br />Constitutional amendments in Florida must be passed by a "Yes" vote. Don't ask me why, but that's the reason. <br /> <br />Old Timer
