Support for Amtrak Service

amtrak train It is amazing to me how hard it is to sell support for Amtrak's service in rural america. I noticed Matt Singer's tip on this effort to build such support in Montana, and yet, even while the congregational delegation is vowing their support, they are unwilling to vote against substantial cuts in Amtrak's operating budget.

Governor Schweitzer and local officials are planning a whistlestop tour to highlight the plight of Amtrak and the effect cutting it will have on Montana. Will Burns show up? He’s talked about his support of Amtrak, but most recently voted against restoring $1.4 billion of its budget.

What's up with that?
