It wasn't Disney's Plan to build the train, and it wasn't Disney's idea to get a stop there. They will just reap the benifits. So why should they build it?

That may be so since they do not want to pay for it. But they will reap the benefits while the Florida tax payers that built it get nothing.

Did you read my previous post? If it helps Florida's economy, it helps the Florida tax payer. Besides, your not a Florida tax payer, so why do you care? Why are you arguing with a Floridian on what you think my state should and should not be doing?

Why am I worried? Because Federal Tax dollars are being used for this Disney project. So we are all paying for it.

Those federal tax dollars are subsidizing Pennsylavnia more than they are Florida. For every $1 PA sends to the fed govt it gets $1.06 back. Florida gets less back. Maybe your state ought to start supporting itself first before you worry about how federal tax revenue is spent elsewhere. Talk about a blatant double standard you got going there.
