Gah.... why does the cabinet pick for my industry have to be a Republican? I finally thought we would be past the era of privatization and toll-lane projects, and now this. Obama.... please.... don't.... be... a... weenie!
Ray LaHood, Illinois Republican Congresscritter, represents a fairly rural section of Illinois. This means he's unlikely to be a champion of public transit or urban issues. However, he did break with Republicans on Amtrak funding, and on one public transit spending bill, so perhaps there's hope.
Oh, and did I mention he presided over the Clinton impeachment proceedings in the 1990's? Gah. (and yes I'll say it... he even looks like a corrupt Republican.)
More here and more here.
