The Trend is your friend ...

In the midst of the ongoing debate over funding SunRail during last week's special legislative session, Florida Trend's Web site poll asked readers to weigh-in on the costly central Florida commuter rail line proposal.

The “Ballot Box” asked readers to choose one of two responses “Regarding SunRail ... Central Florida needs a commuter rail” or “It's too expensive or won't be widely used.”

As of about 12:30 p.m. on Dec. 7, 90%, 1,705 readers, responded it was too expensive or won't be widely used, and only 10%, 183, supported the project.

Based on the final vote, it appears legislators were not paying attention.
