There is just one other issue I want to bring up and it's really not to do with the bill, but this came up quite a bit today. It's the closing down of lines. I don't have a rail line in my own riding anymore, but there was one that used to go to my hometown before my time, before I remember. I guess it came twice a day, and then it was once a day when I was growing up, and then it was reduced to once a week. But the bottom line is the reason it isn't there is that it wasn't financially viable. It's unfortunate, but things change. I see you all nodding in agreement, and I think that needed to be brought up.
