SunRail friends, foes turn up the volume
Click title for story link. State legislators got two very different samples of public opinion on the $1.2 billion SunRail commuter rail proposal that awaits a key Senate vote Wednesday.
First thing Monday morning, the project's leading opponent in the Capitol, Sen. Paula Dockery, R-Lakeland, e-mailed her Senate colleagues a summary of critical editorials in 10 different newspapers all over the state (the pro-SunRail Orlando Sentinel did not make Dockery's cut-and-paste piece, which she headlined "Florida Newspapers Say No to SunRail deal.") See Dockery's full e-mail here.
