#NorfolkSouthern Spent $1.9M in Washington as #Congress Weakened #Rail Safety Bill
In 6mo since #EastPalestine #derailment, #railway has activated its #lobbyists and spread money around Congress. As Norfolk went on spending spree, #Bipartisan #RailwaySafetyAct stalled in #Senate, due to a lack of sufficient #GOP support. Norfolk Southern spent $797,500 on lobbyists before the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee made its changes to the rail safety bill
