Forum Communication’s Capitol Chatter has a compelling profile on Jim Oberstar’s big week. His major transportation initiatives are ripening and, amid all else going on, he will be making a push for his vision of a 21st century transportation system.

Our Congressman Jim is riding a wave of media exposure. Last week the radio show “Living on Earth,” out of Cambridge Mass., did an in-depth interview about 21st Century interstate hi-speed rail, and other alternatives to cars and highways – including the Oberstar favorite: bicycle paths.
KAXE Radio carried it, and rebroadcast it on the Morning Show.
Reporter Jeff Young asked Jim intelligent questions, and we learned that this is a $500 Billion dollar program, including the $50 Billion trust fund to keep it current.
