Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has been under criticism for
months -- for mishandling airline accountability and now mishandling the
toxic train wreck near where I live in Ohio.
Thousands of PCCC members and others demanded Buttigieg make rail safety
rules stronger after corporations spent years lobbying to weaken
them...Finally, we’ve seen inches of action. But there are miles left to
go.
It’s long past time for Secretary Buttigieg to hold major transportation
corporations accountable. He should reinstate and enforce Obama-era safety
regulations gutted by Trump and pass even stronger rules to ensure public
safety comes before monopolies trying to cut corners for profit.

transportation regulations -- and hold big railway and airline
corporations accountable for hurting communities and consumers.
For too long, giant transportation companies have used their wealth and
influence to weaken federal regulations. And under Trump, the corporate
lobbyists were VERY successful.
It’s inexcusable that two years into a Democratic Administration, Pete
Buttigieg has not undone the damage Trump and corporate lobbyists did to
our transportation-related public safety regulations and consumer
protections.
The Lever is an investigative publication featured recently in the New
York Times. They call Buttigieg "a corporate-friendly pol" who has been
hesitant to use his power to reign in corporate greed.
But workers, communities, and the public need to see the Department of
Transportation work to make transportation safe and efficient -- not boost
profits for CEOs and corporate investors. And voters need to see it happen
-- before the election in 2024.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
