Dan Lipinski: “For years, I have been a strong supporter of using prizes to incentivize advancement of emerging technologies.”

I don't think that your decision to furlough these 2,000 employees is going to save the day.

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

I hope you take very seriously the credibility that you will lose by engaging in these furloughs.

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