He's never held a private sector job in his life. Never had a job in transportation until he was appointed head of the DMV, and then the MBTA. When you said he was qualified, I kind of expected him to have a past as either head of another city's public transportation system, or maybe head of operations for a company like FedEx or Avis or something like that. But all he's done is serve as Cheif of Staffs to various politicians, and later get rewarded a high-paying job that should of gone to someone who's worked in logistics all their life, preferably with an MBA and several years experience in the private sector.</p> http://bostonist.com/2007/06/21/breaking_news_m.php#comment-1131606 http://bostonist.com/2007/06/21/breaking_news_m.php#comment-1131606 Comments Thu, 21 Jun 2007 12:25:15 -0500 <p>The state should just take the T and figure out how to privatize it. At this point, there really is no other hope for what is quite possibly the worst public transportation system in a major city.</p>
