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 New York lawyer is suing his neighbor, hoping to get an injunction forcing her to turn off her nonstop holiday music that blasts out of a loudspeaker in her Christmas display.

Nick Wilder, who's representing himself in the case, is suing socialite Lisa Maria Falcone, wife to hedge-fund billionaire Philip Falcone. Wilder lives in an apartment across the street from Falcone's three adjoining townhouses on East 67th Street.

“It’s not like she plays it a half-hour every day. It’s on from 7 a.m. to midnight," said Wilder. "I like a Christmas song on Christmas Day. But I’m tired of hearing ‘Jingle Bells’ like 700 or 800 times a day.’’

Wilder is asking Falcone to “show some Christmas spirit by being considerate and stop annoying the entire neighborhood.”

According to news reports, Falcone did not respond to media requests for comment.
