Click title for story link. Aaron Deslatte at the Orlando Sentinel's Central Florida Political Pulse blog reports that the trial lawyers have dropped their opposition to the pending deal that will be surfacing in the upcoming session of the Florida Legislature to approve a deal to make commuter rail happen in the Orlando area. The lawyers' position comes at the price of dropping sovereign immunity protection to private companies involved in the commuter rail project. However, the item quoted one legislator as cautiously pointing out that it's not clear whether that means the votes are there to approve the deal.
