2003 Senate Bill 267 ↩

Senate Roll Call 189: The amendment was not adopted

To strip out a provision which prohibits Amtrak from using a $7.1 million subsidy for the Port Huron to Chicago passenger train to artificially reduce passenger fares below the fare box cost of a private entity participating in the intercity bus loan subsidy program. Reportedly, the Indian Trails bus company may have to close some lines and lay off 130 employees because of competition from the heavily subsidized Amtrak service.
