Charles Jefferys TALLAHASSEE Florida is a state that loves its cars, but lawmakers are at the Capitol trying to nudge residents and tourists in a new direction: toward a future in which trains carry people to jobs and shopping malls. In a transportation-focused special session that will conclude next week, lawmakers are debating legislation to build the $1.2 billion SunRail commuter system through Orlando, allocate much-needed cash to South struggling Tri-Rail system and set up a state agency to plot a high-speed rail line along which trains could zip from Tampa to Orlando to Miami at 120 miles per hour. For the thousands who ride Tri-Rail daily, the bill is a must: The extra $25 million a year in operating costs would pull the system back from the financial brink, supporters say.

But conservative Republican critics are raising a fundamental issue: People love their cars. Sprawl-happy Florida has 121,000 miles of public roads, ribbons of asphalt that would wrap around the globe more than four times. Motorists drove 542 million miles on Florida roads in 2008, compared with 375 million a decade earlier, according to the state Department of Transportation. a 45 percent increase, though the upward trend has slowed during the recession. By contrast, the SunRail project is expected to carry about 4,000 passengers a day when it begins rolling in 2012 a handful of the commuters who shuttle along Interstate-4.

Critics say the low ridership means that the $432 million the state is paying CSX Transportation for the 61-mile DeLand-to-Poinciana SunRail route is too much. think the riderships should fully support the operating costs of any rail said Sen. Carey Baker, R-Eustis. driving the sudden interest in rail travel are billions in federal dollars, available through President Barack stimulus package. The state has submitted a bid for $2.6 billion to build the first leg of the bullet train, from Tampa to Orlando.

But underlying the debate is a growing belief that traffic on Florida roads is unsustainable, and building more lanes simply work. Florida roads are said Rep. Jim Waldman, D-Coconut Creek. wall-to-wall cars filled with people. You get Rail supporters call this nine-day special session a moment, when state policymakers can get serious about changing pattern of shuffling drivers onto ever-bigger highways.

The Florida House put itself into position Friday to pass the sweeping rail legislation on Monday. But the big battle will come in the 40- member Senate, which for the past two regular sessions has been unable to muster the 21 votes needed to authorize the SunRail project. Sponsors hope that with SunRail part of a broader rail bill, it can finally pass. Not everyone in the House endorsed that idea. Rep.

Alan Hays, R-Umatilla, complained about the effort to build high-speed rail. Voters in 2004 repealed a constitutional mandate to build the bullet train, thanks to a well- financed campaign by then-Gov. Jeb Bush. has changed in the last five years to think that a majority of Floridians now want high-speed rail and are willing to pay for Hays asked. Supporters said if Florida compete for the money, it will go to California, New York or other big states.

But with reliable, fast trains, supporters say, Floridians could be coaxed from their cars and off the roads.

Videos about Kesse killing were hoax, Georgia man says By Willoughby Mariano and Bianca Prieto ORLANDO SENTINEL AHarvard Medical School professor states in court documents that CNN talk show host Nancy Grace contributed to the suicide of Melinda Duckett, the mother of missing 2-year-old Trenton Duckett who killed herself three years ago soon after appearing on the popular show. apparently unanticipated public humiliation on the nationally televised program in question was a substantial contributing cause of her Dr. Harold J. Bursztajn wrote in a lengthy but preliminary opinion. It was filed recently in the wrongful-death civil case in U.S.

District Court in Ocala. Duckett, who lived in Leesburg with Trenton, wasinter- viewed by Grace on Sept. 7, 2006. It came as local, state and federal officials searched frantically for Trenton, whom Duckett reported missing. Duckett shot herself in the head Sept.

Her suicide came after the interview but before to its broadcast. Bursztajn said timing is consistent with an increased sense of despair following the interview and a fear of the effects of its according to the court filing.

Bursztajn watched the Duckett-Grace interview and witnessed distraught young woman who is subject to repeated and increasingly sharp questioning by a hostile interviewer who displays increasing suspicion and anger towards Ms. Bursztajn said Grace, an experienced interviewer and former prosecutor, a highly accusatory tone in interviewing Melinda Grace has denied in court records subjecting the mother to mental abuse during the interview. Lawyers for Grace did not return a call for comment on the report. A CNN spokesperson declined comment. Through an e-mail sent by an assistant Friday, Bursz- tajn said he would not comment on the case because it is in litigation.

The e-mail noted, keep in mind that this report contains a preliminary opinion, as the report itself spells Bursztajn, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, noted in his opinion that the interview about the missing child diminished her capacity to protect herself from suicidal ideation and thus was a substantial contributing cause of her suicide the following He also noted that as additional information becomes available as the case heads to trial preliminary opinion will be supplemented and the degree of certainty to which I hold it may be Anthony Colarossi can be reached at 352-742-5931.
