« MY CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGE AGAINST SUN RAIL | Main | Absentee Ballot Alert »
Sun Rail Will Cost Lives Too
Not only will Sun Rail raise taxes on every homeowner and
small business at the worst possible time and force cuts in
public safety and education, it will cost lives. The
Department of Transportation has decided to pay for cost overruns (which
often run 50-100% of estimates) by delaying road projects in Orange
County. Delaying roadway safety improvements will cost lives.
The residents in East Orange County will struggle with traffic on
State Road 50 for years while their tax dollars go to a system they will
never use. Dangerous roads in Orange County will remain so
while tax dollars get diverted to Sun Rail. Below is a poll
taken by the Orlando Sentinel on taxpayers opinion about their tax
dollars going from road improvements to Sun Rail.

Since all of my opponents voted for and support Sun Rail
the only way to reverse this policy mistake is to elect Matthew Falconer for Orange County Mayor on August 24th. I
pledge to put education, public safety, and your children's safety over a
rail project that only benefits special interests.
Absentee ballots go out this week and by forwarding my
email to all of your friends in Orange County you will help end wasteful
government spending mortgaging our children's future.
Thank you for your support and your vote.
Matthew Falconer
