Florida gets more time to vie for high-speed rail money

I just love it when Republicans start turning on each other.

WASHINGTON — It's a high-speed, high-stakes game of he-said, he-said — and one confusing mess.

The nation's No. 1 transportation official on Friday gave a burst of hope to backers of a high-speed rail project in Florida by saying Gov. Rick Scott asked for more information on a proposal and therefore he was extending the deadline a week.

(snip)

Through it all ran another thread — the possibility of some Republican state lawmakers suing the governor to prevent him from killing the long-planned project. They contend he overstepped his authority, and on Thursday, people behind the effort openly hoped LaHood would grant more time so they could prepare the lawsuit.

Finally, tea party members who have rallied around Scott implored him not to buckle and implied he would pay a political price for doing so.
