Watch the video below as U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren defends the Taxpayer Protection Act (Pacheco Law) at a Banking Committee hearing. The following is an excerpt from her remarks:

“I think it’s clear we need to address our long term transportation funding issues but in a manner that provides the same quality of service and protects public safety. And I just haven’t seen any convincing data that demonstrate this can be accomplished through privatization… Maintaining high standards, particularly high safety standards, requires experienced and qualified workers and we should be strengthening and investing in our transit workers instead of targeting them for cuts that would cost us more in the long run.”

Below is the video from the hearing.
