Leader says Florida House will fund Tri-Rail; Senate outlook uncertain
Speaker Daniel Perez said Monday the Florida House of Representatives would restore state funding seen as essential to keep the Tri-Rail commuter rail system operating in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties.
But the final outcome isn’t up to him, and he added a dose of uncertainty.
“I don’t know if the Senate is going to want to reciprocate that. So the real question is going to go to the senators, which I advise all of you to call. I don’t know if the Senate will want to fund the Tri-Rail or not. The House will fund the Tri-Rail.”
