Well, when you said, 'we,' you didn't make those agreements. Flagler made those agreements.

You're going to require these local governments to maintain these crossings forever, yet your train is not going to stop in any of these communities.

Shouldn't we open up the process to reexamine the safety issues in collaboration with the public?

I know that has been one of the latest, you know, things that they have thrown out from saying absolutely, positively there will never, ever, ever be a stop in this high-speed rail.

Do we want to sacrifice--and I think the answer is no from my standpoint--the safety of our local residents for your profit and convenience?

Shouldn't the capital and operating costs of safety equipment be paid for by Brightline, the people who benefit from it?

This is basically an unfunded mandate from the Federal Government on local government, something that we always swear that we won't do.

Who makes a determination of whether a project fits under one of the 15 categories in 142(A)?

Does the Department determine FEC to be Brightline?

we think that all the safety features should be working as normal, not agreeing to those quiet zones.

Sanctuary Cities released at least 142 Gang Members across the United States, making it easy for them to commit all forms of violent crimes where none would have existed. We are doing a great job of law enforcement, but things such as this…

I would hope that you could comment on this being that this is the primary concern of how we are determining whether somebody is eligible for private activity bonds.

But they don't.
