Trump fires MTA from long-awaited Penn Station revamp, puts feds in charge: ‘Blank checks are over’
President Trump fired the MTA from the long-awaited revamp of Penn Station on Thursday, instead putting the feds in charge of a gold-plated makeover for the decrepit transit hub.
Amtrak will spearhead the renovation as the feds champion a “public-private partnership model,” announced Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
“President Trump has made it clear: The days of reckless spending and blank checks are over,” Duffy said in a statement.
