Dan Lipinski: “I think Metro in so many ways is unfortunately an embarrassment in our Nation's Capital.”

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

The rampant delays affecting Amtrak's trains threaten the railroad's growth and even its long-term viability as an operator.

Amtrak needs the support and the help from Congress.

Amtrak must heed and not ignore Congress' desire that it work well with others.
