| Description | TALLAHASSEE — Signatures collected for a ballot proposal to scrap the Florida bullet train are valid, a judge ruled Thursday.
In 2000, voters ordered the state to build the high speed rail project and it is in its initial planning phases. But a group called Derail the Bullet Train collected enough signatures this year to put the question back before voters this November, arguing it should be repealed because it will cost too much.
But backers of the train challenged the repeal petitions in court, arguing that they don't include the names and addresses of paid signature collectors, which they contend is required by state law.
But Circuit Judge Kevin Davey rejected the challenge, saying it's not clear at all that the law requires that. |
