Not to many years ago, during the transition from Democrat Patrick Deval (Small Deval) to Republican Charlie Backer (Tall Deval), a left over former Small Deval appointment, Beverley Scott, was the MBTA General Manager. Her engineering and business skills were wrapped up in her Political Science PhD. Then came the February snow. The snow bound up the inner city transit trains for a month. The MBTA is a political sewer filled with hacks and government lifers.
