The short explanation of this alert was:

While services for sick kids, our seniors and most vulnerable are being slashed

NOW IS THE TIME TO STOP THE $450-$650 MILLION CORP0ROATE WELFARE DEAL FOR CSX RAILROAD!

CSX, one of the most powerful railroad companies in the world is currently working to get a sweetheart deal where the taxpayers will fund a rail system FOR THEM in Central Florida. In addition this bill forces the taxpayers to assume all liability for accidents, EVEN IF CSX IS AT FAULT! The legislation also will lead to the elimination of thousands of union jobs, replacing these well-trained, highly experienced workers with less skilled workers.

THIS WILL LEAVE RAIL SAFETY UP TO LOWEST BIDDER!

In return for our generous $450 - $650 million gift, they will allow for some commuter trains to run on the tracks. This is pure corporate welfare, being pushed by special interests and their allies in the Legislature. FLORIDA IS IN A BUDGET CRISIS! FUND SCHOOLS, SENIORS AND SICK KIDS, NOT WEALTHY CORPORATIONS!
