[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by jeaton</i> <br /><br />I don't quit get the point. Senator Murray raises the issue of having the NE corridor state help support the NEC just as her state does. I don't think her letter suggests that she has changed in her position on that subject, and quite frankly I don't see how that relates to any of the questions she has presented to the DOT. If she has changed her position, so be it. In my experience, I find that only those with the simplest minds refuse to reconsider their stand on any of their beliefs. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />"What's good for the goose is good for the gander." <br /> <br />If one is to suggest that the NEC states take over the majority of NEC funding, why shouldn't the LD states do likewise? Mineta is only taking Murray's original suggestion directed at the NEC states and expanding it to the whole system. So why criticize the Administration for suggesting somethig that she herself was suggesting as well just a few short years ago? <br /> <br />P.S. I don't believe she has "reconsidered" her stand, she's simply playing the politics of reactionarism.
