According to the news that echoes the Magazine Free Track: " His decision was based, he explained," three economic realities. "Although the federal government had pledged nearly 1,770 million euros to meet most of the cost of building the line, which would run along the Interstate 4 corridor, Scott said any unforeseen overrun on costs "could force taxpayers to pay about 2,200 million more."
The governor also doubts the calculations of employment and income, which he described as "overly optimistic" in two-thirds of high-speed rail projects.

" Any decrease in the occupation could require the state to disburse grants of up to 424 million euros over the next ten years, he suggested. And if the project fell apart, the State Florida would have to repay federal funds. " ..........................
