Two Cent Railroad Fare Bill Proposed in Next Legislature
An ex-change notes the first bill to be introduced will seek a general reduction of railroad passenger fares to two cents per mile.

It cites Mississippi and argues the current higher rate discriminates against infrequent riders. The measure aligns with the platform of newly elected legislative majorities.
