End the political theater over Amtrak's future

Provide funding to preserve system, allow later expansion.

political theater over Amtrak's future)

November 29, 2005

Here we go, again. Another episode of "The Perils of Pauline" stars the Bush

administration as the villain in black hat and waxed moustache, tying the

hapless Amtrak to the rails as the Bankruptcy Express barrels down the track.

Spare us another installment, please. Instead, put Amtrak on track to a

stable financial future.

In the latest episode, the Amtrak board fired CEO David Gunn for supposedly

dragging his feet on reforms. In fact, his offense more likely was opposing

the Bush administration's desire to liquidate Amtrak and turn the remains over

to private enterprise. On cue, members of Congress vowed to restore any cuts

in service to their states.
