Senator Frank R. Lautenberg: Bicameral Delegation Announces High-Speed & Intercity Rail Caucus
Hoping to defend HSR initiatives, Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) has announced the formation of the "Congressional Bicameral High-Speed & Intercity Passenger Rail Caucus". Joining him will be Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Representatives Louise Slaughter (D-NY), John Olver (D-MA), Corrine Brown (D-FL), David Price (D-NC), Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Tim Walz (D-MN).
Seems like the right idea, because that will help get political support independent of whatever Obama or his successors may decide. But they also ought to consider inviting Republicans like Rep. John Mica (R-FL).
