Subject: MARTIN COUNTY PRESS RELEASE / Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2015 18:22:22 -0400 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Dear Council Members, Below is today's press release regarding AAF and CARE's efforts to stop All Aboard Florida. When you get into the research of AAF and study the movements of the various players, all roads lead to freight, with the main cargo being Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). A LNG production & distribution center is being constructed in South Titusville and a storage facility was approved back in 2008 to be built in Indiantown. There are several people continuing with the LNG research, and yet there is nothing in the media about LNG. Everything the DOT & DOE say about hauling fuel by rail is that it belongs *away from populated areas*. AAF is going after the $1.78 BILLION in tax free bonds, with the date being set for next Wednesday, June 10th. I will write more about this over the weekend.

Specifically, 1.The FDFC is not comprised of three bankers who were nominated by Enterprise Florida, and then selected by the Governor. 2.The FDFC is not comprised of a majority of members who were confirmed by the Senate. 3.There are not enough members for a quorum. Bylaws require selection by Governor and Senate confirmation. 4.Conflict of interest issues, specifically as to Daniel Davis. 5.None of members filed statements of financial interest pursuant to FDFC bylaws.
