Fortunately, Congress has consistently and resoundingly rejected the administration's cuts.

I must note several gross inadequacies in the budget, including a $374.5 million decrease for Northeast Corridor grants to Amtrak.

Boston is ranked eighth most vulnerable to floods among the world's coastal city.
