6a00d83451c3cb69e201156f2cf5ca970c-640wiGovernor Charlie Crist was in town Wednesday to sign the Commuter Rail bill into law.

Hundreds of people packed Church Street Station near the tracks to hear the Governor talk about the bill:

“This is a Florida day. A great day for the Sunshine State. This is about jobs, jobs, jobs.”

After the ceremony, Crist was asked by reporters about “Waffle-gate.”

“I’ve asked our inspector general to look into it. I think that’s appropriate. I hope we get a good resolution soon.”

There were protesters in the crowd, some carrying waffles. Orange County Mayor Candidate Matthew Falconer was there to voice his objections. He says commuter rail is nothing but a $10 billion tax burden.

“I just think it’s the most expensive way to move people.”
