Rush Holt says nothing

I mentioned last week that I’d pass along U.S. Rep. Rush Holt’s response to the $1 million in federal cash for a new — and unnecessary — MOM study. Here’s what he said (via an e-mail from his press officer, Matthew Dennis):

“Rail service can play a valuable role in making commutes more convenient, decreasing congestion, and protecting the environment. But we must choose rail lines that make sense from the perspective of economics, rider convenience, and environmental impact.”

Honestly, I expected a little more from a Congressman who has taken some tough stands and who may have an eye on Frank Lautenberg’s U.S. Senate seat.
