This is the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act. It passed with a clear enough majority that it is vetoe proof and apparently (maybe because of that) President Bush has stated he will sign it.  I’m going to list how the Senators voted on HR 2095 – note please that Senator McCain voted nay, Senator Biden did not vote, your Senator (and mine) George Voinovich voted no, and Senator Brown voted yes. I think Senator Obama voted yes.  There is an asterisk after his name, but the ‘not voting’ list only contains two names so I’m assuming he is a solid ‘yes.’

The list:
