September 3, 2010 Business, Government No Comments
post thumbnail

“I have been made aware of a concern that has been raised about a company and their participation in Florida’s High Speed Rail project and its involvement with the Holocaust during World War II. I, like many others, have been touched by the stories told of those tragic days in world history, and am personally offended by this latest information.

“Therefore, I have instructed our Secretary of Transportation, Stephanie Kopelousos, and her team to review these allegations and insure that all prospective participants in Florida’s High Speed Rail project strictly meet all the qualifications criteria under state and federal law. ”
