Did anyone see the call in show last week? Obviously Mica is Anti-Amtrak, but what did the callers say and how did he respond? Thanks

I will tell you this. Rep John Mica is Chair of the Aviation Subcommittee and is ANTI AMTRAK we need to stop this person from causing anymore damage then he has done. :angry:

I don't know what to tell you. Rep Mica, as boring as he sounds, is a very confusing person. He's the sole person to thank for Commuter rail finally coming to Orlando, and blocking the tolling of the last free commuterstate in the city. He's very pro-rail and transporation locally including every light-rail attempt. I think he may have secured the funding for the Florida High Speed Rail commision but I'll have to check on that.

Maybe it's some Florida thing where folks can push for local rail systems and hate anything intercity or national. I don't really get it. But he's like most politicans in this state, he's just doing whatever lobby paid him the most on that day. Voters don't count here.

Well i wouldn't say he is Pro Rail when he says i wouldn't give Amtrak $15 billion and here are some signatures that i have gathered from people in congress that say the same thing.
