Action needed: Rep. Defazio amendment for 2 billion more for public transit funding

[liskddksil]

DeFazio is fighting back, at least a little bit. He's introducing an amendment to add $2 billion in operating assistance to transit, helping our transit agencies stave off painful service cuts at a time when ridership is booming. Congressman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) will also be introducing an amendment to add $2 billion in capital investment. If they pass, those two amendments will restore only a small fraction of the $20 billion Summers & co. cut, but they're a start.

1. I will call tomorrow. It is too late now.

But I am sure the folks at Rep. Slaughter's office will be very nice. I visited one of her offices a couple of years ago.
