Senior Day at the Capitol
April 15th, 2015 by Mike Vasilinda
Rain didn’t dampen the spirits of a thousand senior citizens at the state Capitol today. Some came to make their voices heard on health care, others, like Donnell Crews of Jacksonville came to make his wish for the future known.
“What I’d really like to see is mass rail system in Florida. A mass rail system and I understand there has been some talk, but I don’t know if it will happen in my lifetime. I’m 77” says the retired appliance repairman.
In 2011, one of Governor Rick Scott’s first actions was to refuse two billion dollars for a high speed rail connection between Orlando and Tampa.
