Yesterday Rep. DeFazio's pro-transit amendment had to be witdrawn, and now the best shot at getting $3bn for transit is to urge the House leadership to let Rep. Jerry Nadler's pro-transit amendment get to the floor for a vote.

I thought change had come to America. So why do House Reps and Senators not yet understand that funding roads and cars to the expense of not funding transit is economic and environmental suicide--the pinnacle of unsustainability?
Apologies for the short diary.
