Rep. Walz Delivers Comments to the Department of Transportation

Today, Representative Tim Walz delivered constituent comments addressing the DM&E loan to the Department of Transportation. Since February 1st, Walz received 193 comments on the proposed $2.3 billion loan to the DM&E railroad.

"The public comment period on this loan may have officially closed," Walz said, "but it is never too late for citizens to comment on the work of their government. These comments will be read by members of the DOT Credit Council, which will soon decide whether DM&E is a good credit risk. By ensuring the Credit Council sees these comments, we are moving in the right direction towards a more transparent and publicly accountable process."
