OGDEN, Utah (AP) -- Sen. Bob Bennett has supported ending Amtrak service in Utah and using those federal subsidies to support the railroad in areas that have heavier passenger demand.
"I will be happy to contribute that portion of Amtrak's budget that goes to maintain rail service in Utah to the state of New Jersey where they need it," Bennett said during a floor debate Tuesday.
"If necessary, in Utah we can come up with one bus per week which has enough capacity to handle all of the Amtrak passengers that come through our state," said Bennett. A copy of his taped remarks was obtained by the Standard-Examiner's Washington office.
