So-Called "Railway Safety Act" Constitutes a Political Handout to Big Labor That Does Nothing to Improve Safety At All

America as we know it was built largely upon and because of our rail industry, and today it remains a pillar of our economy.

Unfortunately, a destructive proposal before Congress misleadingly named the "Railway Safety Act" (RSA), part of broader surface transportation reauthorization, threatens great harm to our railroads.

Simply put, the bill has nothing to do with improving safety, but has a lot to do with advancing the political agenda of Big Labor.  At a moment when inflation burdens American families and fragile supply chains remain vulnerable to disruption, the last thing our economy or rail sector need is another costly federal mandate imposed upon one of the nation’s most important transportation sectors.

The Yonkers Police Department is the latest defendant in a series of high dollar lawsuits, this one seeking $975 septillion; that’s 975 followed by 24 zeros.

Charles Oji, a two-time graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is known as a vexatious litigant. In previous lawsuits, he demanded $1 million from the FBI, more than $4 million from his former landlord and another $4 million from Verizon.  Now, he’s upped the ante, demanding $975 septillion from the Yonkers Police Department. His latest beef, number 13 to be exact, claims many of the city’s cab drivers are “street criminals and dirty lawless undercover cops,” in the course of complaining that the police did not arrest young men who smoked in his apartment building.

“There is a way people should conduct themselves,” Oji, a native of Nigeria, said in an interview. “They ignore me. They’re not supposed to ignore my complaints.”

Later, in a text message he wrote: “When someone has the audacity to call himself Jesus Christ, he should be taken seriously,” adding, “AND I KNOW THAT I AM JESUS CHRIST.”

“The only ‘new fact’ cited by Plaintiff — his proclamation that he is Jesus Christ — fails to offer any basis for reconsideration of the order” to dismiss, U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos wrote in September, dismissing the suit against the Yonkers police.

But Oji doesn’t seem deterred, and scoffs that septillions of dollars is too much to ask for.

“At one point, I can’t continue to be polite,” he said.
