SunRail would run for 61.5 miles through Central Florida, with 17 stops, from DeLand in Volusia County through downtown Orlando to Poinciana in Osceola County. Four counties and the city of Orlando would be responsible for operating the $1.2 billion venture, though they would hire private companies to do the work.

Thats $19,512,195.00 per mile? for 17 stops and nowhere near my house or work! I say NO Sunrail, No train!

We don't need ScamRail, can't afford it, don't want it. Don't any of our elected numbskull politicans understand this simple fact? Why then do many of them support this POS? We're in a recession, folks. Household budgets are and will continue to be without excess to pay for colossally stupid and wasteful public works programs. Save money; cut public spending to the bare bones. Especially now is not the time to waste it on a choo-choo train that will serve few, cost much, and require money from cash-strapped taxpayers.
