PRES. BARACK OBAMA The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Email: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/submit-questions-and-comments Dear President Obama, I am a concerned taxpayer who does not want my money gambled on a risky high speed rail project. There are no profitable passenger rail lines in North America and as such, I believe All Aboard Florida should obtain financing through the private sector only. In fact, Mr. Don Robinson, CEO and President of All Aboard Florida, has stated publicly they do not need the RRIF loan. Mr. President, why risk the taxpayer's money on a project which can obtain other financing? We elected you to spend our money wisely and judiciously. Please act on the side of caution, protect the American Taxpayer, and tell All Aboard Florida to use the private financing they have admitted is available. http://www.wbzt.com/articles/1290-wjno-local-news-wire-120981/listen-all-aboard-floridas-president-coo-12614358#ixzz38uPS9lrP - July 29, 2014 "We are a privately funded group." He does note, however, "We are applying for a federal RRIF (Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing) loan, which is a loan that the Federal Railroad Administration issues." We asked Robinson flat out, "Is there any scenario in which you could see this project not coming to fruition?" Here was his reply. "It's privately funded, privately operated on privately owned land. We can do this without the federal RRIF loan if needed."
