Patty Murray herself was critical not to long ago toward the way the NEC states have their corridor entirely funded by the nation's taxpayers. Yet when Bush proposes having the NEC states pay a greater share of Amtrak ops, she acts like she never heard of such a concept. The bottomline: Patty Murray is just playing politics to score points with her Puget Sound idiot voter base, and she knows she'll get away with her hypocrasy because her supporters (like LC) are too dumb to check her present stand with her past stand.
