Sentinel is reporting that State Sen. David Simmons "said he planned to 
lobby lawmakers to fight the governor's move and didn't believe Scott could 
unilaterally kill the project."

Call his office and ask the receptionist to thank him.  (407) 262-7578.  If 
he gets 20 calls, believe me he'll take notice.

Indeed.  Our Governor needs to understand that there is a big difference in 
being a CEO and a governor.  Although this may have been his style in a 
Board room, I believe this style in the Executive Branch of government is 
over-reaching the bounds of authority.

The legislature does have the final say, and question is whether the 
legislature is willing to fund the difference or allow the bid process take 
the appropriate course with an open door for a public/private partnership.

Governor Scott may have exceeded his authority...

Write to Rep Dean Cannon- force him to take a stand in favor of HSR.

Here are some ideas that have been floating around from others:

Why ride the train when you have your own plane?

It appears that the Gov has overlooked the role that construction of 
infrastructure has played throughout the history of the United States.  It 
appears that the Gov has also overlooked the number of jobs that the 
construction and operation of the high speed rail would have created.  It 
appears that the Gov has failed to appreciate the increase in work 
productivity that the high speed rail would have created.

How sad that someone with a so-called business background does not 
understand the workings of “investment.”

I bet the number of Floridians considering leaving the state has just 
increased from 1 in 5 to at least 2 in 5. I know it’s crossed my mind…
