Senate Bill 0003

Senate Bill 0003

Per the Session information provided on the Indiana website SB 0003 will:

Establish standards for a mobile camp provided by a railroad company for maintenance of way employees.

This is another example of how out of control and out of touch the Indiana government is. There is no reason that the this bill should exist.

This bill changes the rules that dictate what kind of shelter and facilities the railroad must provide to its maintenance employees when they are at a temporary location. This bill specifies wash basins and all kinds of other things. The Indiana government has much larger issues to dea with.

Let the railroads and their employees figure this out without government involvement.
Let’s pay off Indiana’s shameful and unconstitutional debt, let’s pay off the local payments that were deferred, and let’s fix real problems in the State!

Senator Drozda should be ashamed of himself.

I wonder what Senator Drozda's interest is anyway? District 21 doesn't even have a railroad running through it.

I'm guessing that the trucking lobby is behind this. The railroad lobby likes to promote legislation for trucking safty standards.

Unfortunately, both state and federal governments have taken it on themselves to be the guardians and de facto trustees of railroads, and airlines, as well as any other large industry with deep pockets and many well-heeled lobbyists.
I think that this is less of an example of good governance and more of a reminder to the railroads that the politicians are watching them and the spigots to the re-election funds had best stay open... ie. government as usual!
