Florida Consultant Brian Mast is anxious concerning the tragic demise of two folks killed by a Brightline prepare in his district. In a current assertion, the Congressman expressed his frustration with the brand new rail line.
“Simply in the future after the NTSB admitted that there are main security issues, two folks misplaced their lives because of one among its trains,” Mast mentioned. “One thing isn’t proper right here, and there must be assurances that this firm is taking clear motion to enhance the protection of its operations earlier than it’s allowed to come back barreling by our neighborhood.”
The Congressman’s concern for his constituents is noble and laudable to the informal observer. However at a better look, one should surprise how far the Consultant’s curiosity in public security goes. Why not communicate to the hundreds of motorists killed in car accidents yearly, each in his district and the USA as an entire?
The reality is, Mast’s newest complaints quantity to nothing greater than an overture to bus, taxi and asphalt corporations. Cannot our leaders serve the folks first as a substitute of particular pursuits?
