Remember when we had Mayor Pete as Sec. of Transportation who really worked at his job?

Mayor Pete @ the train derailment in Eastern Ohio.



Mayor Pete along with a lot of others including Joe Biden, Governor Shapiro, and really good workers got this Freeway in Philadelphia back open in under 2 weeks.



But our current Sec. of Transportation is taking months of vacation time to travel which is paid for by corporations who do business with the USDOT. So in the end we are paying for his and his family’s vacations by paying those corporations for their goods and services.
