Point of View: All Aboard has shared with appropriate agencies | www.mypalmbeachpost.com

Strong letter from a Jupiter resident reminding us that All Aboard Florida's financial information is private. He uses an interesting analogy. Click title for link.
Let’s try to put this in more familiar terms. If you go to the bank and apply for an FHA mortgage, who do you give your tax documents to? You give them to the bank, and the loan officers review them. Can the neighbors next door to the house you’re trying to buy sue the bank to get your tax records because they don’t like you? No, they can’t. The information in your financial data is not their business. It doesn’t matter that you’re applying for a loan from the U.S. government, nor that your property will be next to theirs.
The business plans for All Aboard Florida are not public records, plain and simple. That doesn’t mean that those who need to see them can’t. It only means that you and I can’t see them. If you believe differently, than please provide better logic than I’ve provided above.
