Eddie Bernice Johnson: “I am dumbfounded we are even considering cutting the very investments that will reduce our debt over the long run.”

Keeping transit agencies staffed up will determine whether we can meet the mobility and accessibility challenges facing our region.

I would just encourage the Secretary and the leadership at DOT to stay focused on ensuring that these funds are getting out to local communities as quickly as possible.

I look forward to hearing from our witnesses on the health of the general aviation system and learning what we can do to help support the industry.
