John Mica, the outgoing Florida congressman and head of the House's transportation committee, is incensed that the Green Line doesn't reach LAX, according to KPCC. At a hearing on high-speed rail, Mica told Congresswoman Janice Hahn to pass a message to the mayor: get that damn train to LAX or Mica will kill bigger projects like the bullet train (Villaraigosa's trying to connect rail to the airport). Later in the hearing, Mica said, "I no longer will be able to stop all the projects until he gets that done. I'll just torpedo a few." [KPCC]
