The Orlando Sentinel is quoting Governor Rick Scott, saying that the recent freeze of contracts for SunRail is not a political decision.

So, will Rick Scott turn out to be a proponent of passenger rail? Or will he join others in his party in criticizing passenger rail initiatives which require public support?

We keep waiting for an answer to that question. Here at the beginning of February--Scott's second month in office-- we still don't have one yet.
