Can someone tell us why railroads <i>should</i> remain exempted from normal antitrust laws? <br /> <br />2. Hey, jeaton, did you vote for this guy? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I can not think of any reason the railroads should continue their anti-trust exemption. Of course, Burns legislation has nothing to do with anit-trust. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I'm glad you mentioned the other legislation, because I am curious as to which proposal would be seen as the lesser of two evils to the railroad industry. I can tell you from an economist's perspective, I would definately prefer the Green antitrust legislation over the Burns reregulation legislation.
