Given that All Aboard Florida paid for the report and thus had a connection to the consulting firm that conducted the study, Im not surprised by the outcome. I compare it to a defendant being able to choose his own jury from among his friends. The study concludes: Overall impacts from the Project would be minimal. However, one of the county commissioners pointed out that the map at the FRA meetings didnt even include Vero Beach or Sebastian. What does that tell you? It says to me that we are so parochial (AAFs term) that as far as theyre concerned, we dont exist. Over 100 years ago, when Henry Flagler created access to the area, population was minimal. Thats not the case now. Still, as Commissioner Bob Solari has said, this remains a David-and-Goliath battle. Lets not forget who won that fight. Its time to get out your slingshots and add your comments on the DEIS to those already received (over 5,000). Be as specific as you can about the possible impacts on your life and welfare.
