Ultimately, the furloughs and long-distance service cuts are misguided, and weaken our national passenger rail service.
I believe that Congress needs to act quickly to prevent furloughs and avoid long-distance service cuts.
I'm hopeful this year will be the year Congress steps up to the plate as well.
I actually put a bill in requiring railroads and rail transit to take the safest route.
