So-Called "Railway Safety Act" Constitutes a Political Handout to Big Labor That Does Nothing to Improve Safety At All

America as we know it was built largely upon and because of our rail industry, and today it remains a pillar of our economy.

Guidice charges that the petition filed by Kridel ultimately led to federal fraud charges against her and her husband, Joe (who will serve 41 months prison time after his wife is released in 15 months). Giudice claims that Kridel prepared inaccurate amendments, mishandled the bankruptcy filing and ultimately failed to prepare Teresa for a meeting with the federal Bankruptcy Court trustee and creditors.

The Giudices filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and dropped the case in 2011. In the initial 39-count indictment stemming from the filing, the federal government accused the Giudices of hiding rental income and Teresa's "Real Housewives" salary.
