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.

Bank of America is being sued by a customer demanding that "1,784 billion, trillion dollars" be deposited into his bank account.

Plaintiff pro se Dalton Chiscolm filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan against the largest U.S. bank and its board, complaining that he placed a series of calls to the bank and received inconsistent information from a "Spanish wom[a]n."  According to court documents, he alleges that deposited checks have been rejected because of incomplete routing numbers.

According to an order issued by Judge Denny Chin, "The claim is incomprehensible.  Although he alleges that the basis of jurisdiction is federal question, no federal cause of action is stated.  Even liberally construed, the complaint does not appear to assert a federal cause of action."

Chiscolm has until today, October 23rd, to amend his complaint to better explain the basis for his claims or his complaint will be dismissed.
