Which is what Mineta wants to do. So it seems both sides of the equation are arguing and slowly accomplishing the same thing each other is saying about each other. So in the end, the US is slowly moving toward privatization or private public partnerships based on states. But they're still screaming at each other over Amtrak or firing people haphazardly because they didn't fit in or some mess! I'd really like to get some straight answers out of these politicians and their infinite wisdom. What they said Gunn said and what Gunn said to be two seperate things. With all this infighting it's no wonder the US has been moving so slow with progress in rail transit. I don’t get it… he talks about wanting to give states more power.
