there have been rumors of hig-speen trains since 1998, but nothing has ever come of it since every bid has been outrageous, and the only ones that even get considered will only ever serve florida's since-vanished tourist population. the only way they could sell it to the state legislature was to portray it is a racket to be used on the tourists (like the chunnel between london and paris), but since tourism is all but dead here, no one has any interest in anything--- most of all helping out the residents. after all, jeb bush is the governor, and why would he do anything that would cost the state money and necessitate the institution and increase of taxes?
