Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 13, 2025
Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise in support of the Amtrak Executive Bonus Disclosure Act. This bill would require Amtrak to post the executive leadership team compensation annually on the Amtrak website. Congress already requires the Nation's intercity passenger railroad to submit this information to Congress. This bill would increase transparency of the information to the public and require it to be posted online as well, as Amtrak has now done for the last 2 years. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.
