FL: Miami Wants Rail Permits. Trump: ‘We’ll Get Them for You so Fast Your Head Will Spin.’

President Donald Trump pledged environmental regulation wouldn’t hold up Miami-Dade’s quest for more rail projects, telling a county commissioner that federal permits will arrive “so fast your head will spin.”

The longtime owner of one of Miami-Dade’s largest resorts, Trump told Commission Chairman Esteban “Steve” Bovo that federal red tape won’t hold up local transit projects.

The question will be whether you can get the local permits. That’s up to you.”
