Peter DeFazio: “I have introduced a bill to lift the cap on the passenger facility charge.”

Senator Tammy Baldwin introduced legislation last Congress that all rail labor unions and shipper groups from a wide array of industries, including the American Chemistry Council (ACC) endorsed.

So, I guess that kind of raises the issue, which I will be passing on to Garret Graves, who I think will chair this committee in the future, of whether or not we should raise the passenger facility charge so we have a user fee which pays…

We have to provide resources to the Coast Guard so they can mitigate the effects of climate change in their operational planning.

I think there is going to be a lot of work coming.
