Those documented lobbying efforts, however, related to opposing the construction of high speed rail networks in Texas, rather than Florida (Wanna get away?). Florida’s high speed rail hopes were instead dashed by then-governor, Rick Scott, who in 2011 rejected billions of dollars from the federal government on offer for the development of a high speed rail network. Scott and his wife, as a complete coincidence, would go on to invest some of their personal wealth in a fund with links to privatized high speed rail development in Florida.
