Lawmaker Calls for Hearings over Amtrak’s Plan to Delay Tunnel Work

Sen. Todd Kaminsky (D-Long Beach) on Friday sent a letter to Sen. Michael Ranzenhofer (R-Amherst), chairman of the Senate Corporations, Authorities and Commissions Committee, asking for the hearings to discuss Amtrak’s plan.

Kaminsky said the plan was “troubling and may result in chronic delays and cancellations of Long Island Rail Road.”
