    Texas Railroad Commissioner

    Well guess he’s looking to use a lot of trains for something. Seems familiar…

      The railroad commission is actually the state’s oil and gas regulatory agency, and doesn’t have anything to do with railroads anymore. The name confuses people and they like it that way.

        I feel dumb for daring to think government would pretend to care about public transport.
