I'm not trying to defend him, but it seems like this position has done nothing over the years, not just Pete. So that lets him off the hook? Did he at least bring issues up? If he did and was ignored then yeah, he gets a pass. But that would mean the hot potato is in someone else’s hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultra Max Power 214 Posted February 15, 2023 The Biden administration doubled the funding to address transportation and hazardous material safety. I'm just curious how that money was spent if regulations and inspections declined. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps it was spent to upgrade surveillance of baggage pick up at airports, a needed transportation security issue recently. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLLD 4,254 Posted February 15, 2023 derailments are rather common, I believe there are like 1700 a year.... so more than one per day. In this instance, the response is the concern. Its yet another indication that the DOT is not doing ITS job, and the administration is inept as well . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should know better- this is how it works on these boards. It matters not that issues have been festering for decades through D and R administrations, it's who is in office when something happens and we point the finger at them. Doesn't mater how we got there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 15,512 Posted February 15, 2023 The blame it on Trump honeymoon is over. It’s been two years and the democrats had the congress for that time. If you can get trillions of dollars passed you can take measures to improve safety. If there were, I’d like to see them. It’s possible, but not probable. Lots of big money invested in railroad transportation. Black rock, vanguard and a bunch of other big players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zsasz 369 Posted February 15, 2023 Meh. Don't really feel much sympathy for a county/area that votes so rigidly against their best interests in the manner that this area of OH does. Hopefully, some people will come to the realization that the Republican Party isn't looking out for their best interests.....but I won't hold my breath*. I am looking forward to them NOT taking any Federal money and pulling themselves up by their bootstraps though. * Something these clowns should probably be doing.

I'm guessing the reason he said it was because Obama tried to fix the issue and Trump stopped it. I don't know if it makes a difference of which party is in charge but I get why he said it, OH is a red state. I think it's a failure of our government as a whole and not a republican or democrat thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
