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 Jersey high school baseball player is suing his coach after being told to slide into third base.

Jake Maser claims his coach, John Suk, made him slide on a triple to deep left-centerfield, causing his cleats to dig into the dirt and roll his ankle. Maser, who ultimately had surgery, alleges in his lawsuit that his coach was "reckless" in having him slide during a JV game and that the coach and school district "negligently" and "carelessly" supervised the game.

Superior Court Judge Yolanda Ciccone dismissed the lawsuit on grounds that Maser had not proven that the coach had been negligent; Maser appealed. The case has since been remanded back by the appellate court to the lower court on grounds that Ciccone "never analyzed whether (Maser) presented facts in support of his claim that (Suk's and the board's) conduct was reckless."

Will the case goes into extra innings?
