[QUOTE]Originally posted by DonNadeau: [QB] I also believe that the Orlando extension is exactly the type of project that would interest the president. As a candidate President Trump mentioned transportation infrastructure many times. AAF positives > 1) The president has not spent his life car-centric environment (far more it). 2) As a private entity AFF does not add another layer of government, and 3) At least once an infrastructure initiative helps pay for West Palm Beach - Orlando construction. the future of AAF seems financially viable. In my opinion, any infrastructure initiative depends on strong Democratic support. Representative Mica may have been vanished in defeat, but his spirit lives on. I just can't imagine enough Republicans supporting infrastructure spending before seeing such things as a lower tax rate for corporations repatriating foreign profits to the U.S. bring in enough tax revenue to support an infrastructure initiative without adding to the national debt. On the other hand, politicians--Democrat and Republican--love pork for their districts. [/QB][/QUOTE]
