 UPDATE: FMCSA breaking ‘both letter and the spirit of the law’
UPDATE: FMCSA breaking ‘both letter and the spirit of the law’
A federal lawmaker warned the Bush administration that spending federal money to keep the cross-border trucking program with Mexico afloat is in dangerous legal territory.
Rep. Peter DeFazio, a Democrat from Oregon and chairman of the House Highways and Transit Subcommittee, didn’t mince words when he challenged the legality of the program in a Jan. 16 letter to Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters.
“Using federal funds to continue to review the applications of Mexico-domiciled motor carriers, conduct pre-authorization safety audits, and grant new authority breaks both the letter and the spirit of the law,” DeFazio wrote. |
