Federal Government Wants Subway Safety Oversight
The Obama administration will propose that safety regulations for subways and commuter trains be put under the jurisdiction of the federal government. What do you think?
Lyle Sturckow,
Agent Licensing Clerk
"I don't know, do we really need any regulations other than 'If you see another train on the track, don't crash into it?'"
Levi Forrester,
Nodulizer
"I support it. I would love to hear a recording of President Obama saying 'Stand clear of the closing doors' in his ringing orator's voice."
Tammy Fuglesang,
Regulatory Inspector
'I've haven't seen such a clear violation of the 10th Amendment in days!"
