Florida Democratic leaders on Thursday called on Republican leaders to help draw down federal stimulus money to secure funding for SunRail.
House Speaker Larry Cretul, R-Ocala remains uncommitted, but House Republicans have said theyre waiting to get committed until they see if the Senate now has enough votes after killing the project earlier this year.
He was speaking to the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization directors meeting Thursday at its monthly gathering.Florida is moving forward someone said.
