Re: Portal Bridge was down this morning

It just isn't that cut and dry. Regardless of who owns it, 90% of the passengers that cross it are NJT passengers. Of course Amtrak is 2/3rd of the air-rail market between NYC and DC, and it supports the northeast's economy.

Politically, OMB Director Mulvaney declared it a "local" project, Secretary Chao is a robot, and Trump is working a grudge against Schumer. It does not matter that automobile dominated cities like Atlanta function on federally supported so called "Interstate" highways that get 90% federal funding for their commuters, and that New York and New Jersey are net donor states.
