Rant Two—It Got Worse

After my rant on Amtrak yesterday, I thought that it couldn’t get much worse than what I had reported. I was wrong!

I am in Chicago for several days of board meetings for the State Universities Retirement System (SURS) Board that I’ve been on for over ten years. We take care of the retirement funds for all of the people who work at universities and colleges in the state.

As I reported on my blog yesterday I was able to make my 1 pm meeting on Wednesday, but several of our staff were so late from taking the same train on Thursday that they didn’t make a 3 pm meeting. They were stuck for many hours in Kankakee. That Amtrak could be three hours late one day is perhaps understandable, but to be even later a second day in a row is inexcusable.

Hopefully, this will be my absolute last rant on this subject.
