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.

Unfortunately, a destructive proposal before Congress misleadingly named the "Railway Safety Act" (RSA), part of broader surface transportation reauthorization, threatens great harm to our railroads.

Simply put, the bill has nothing to do with improving safety, but has a lot to do with advancing the political agenda of Big Labor.  At a moment when inflation burdens American families and fragile supply chains remain vulnerable to disruption, the last thing our economy or rail sector need is another costly federal mandate imposed upon one of the nation’s most important transportation sectors.

A Daytona Beach (FL) man was arrested after he tried to sell a stolen car back to its owner.

Car owner Walter Potts told police that he received a telephone call informing him that his stolen car was identified and could be purchased back for $150. Potts was told to bring the money to a local Save-a-Lot store where he could exchange it for the car keys. Potts notified police, who accompanied him in an unmarked car.

When Devin Holt-Thayer approached Potts with the keys and demanded the cash, officers moved in. Holt-Thayer then ran off and tried to hide in a local O'Reilly Auto Parts store, where he was apprehended. Holt-Thayer claimed he was paid $10 to turn over the keys for cash. Holt-Thayer has been charged with felony dealing in stolen property, felony grand theft and misdemeanor resisting officers without violence.

According to news reports, Potts plans to press charges.
