Vice President Biden Laments Loss of High-Speed Rail in Orlando

March 23, 2011 | WMFE - Vice President Joe Biden was in Winter Park today, speaking at a fundraiser for U.S. Senator Bill Nelson. The event was held at the home of an Orlando-area developer. It was attended by about 150 donors who paid $500 apiece.

Biden told attendees that high speed rail in Florida made sense, and he lamented the state’s missed chance for the project. Governor Rick Scott recently rejected $2.4 billion dollars in federal money geared toward starting a high speed rail line between Tampa and Orlando.

The next stop for Biden and Nelson was another fundraiser for Nelson in Tampa.
