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.

In this case, Wells Fargo holds the first and second mortgage on a condominium. As holder of the first mortgage, Wells Fargo is suing all other lien holders, including itself as holder of a second mortgage.

“This is just folks cranking out paperwork without conscious thought,” added Anthony Sabino, a law professor at St. John's School of Law in New York City.
