Dan Lipinski: “Thank you, Mr. Clay. Next I want to recognize the gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Schakowsky).”

I believe that Congress needs to act quickly to prevent furloughs and avoid long-distance service cuts.

I really have some deep misgivings about my own decision to pull that amendment.

I am especially honored to see $355 million in CIG funds awarded to the South Shore Lines West Lake Corridor.

Ultimately, the furloughs and long-distance service cuts are misguided, and weaken our national passenger rail service.
