It's a time honored tradition in Mass for hacks like him to require the jaws of life to extract them from their $100K/yr,20 hour a week,40 weeks a year state job.
Why not? Mike Chertoff kept his job after Katrina. Incompetents who get people killed seem to be the darlings of politicos these days.
What are the odds that, if the man had been a Dem, his party affiliation would not have been mentioned???
How long has this guy been on the job? Is holding him responsible for this actually sensible?
"He's not responsible for the design or the construction, just for wrapping the project up."
Well...all this attention on this guy kinda removes attention from the real criminals doesn't it?
Massachusetts Turnpike Authority Chairman "Fat Matt" Amorello says he will not resign even though the Governor is saying he wants to have him fired....

The Big Dig was a Massachusetts Marxist boondoggle from day one of the planning stage. Corruption, graft, nepotism, egotism, ignorance, incompetence, thievery, and self-promotion were all in evidence; and all at taxpayer expense - thank you America for lining so many crooks' pockets. Throughout, the planning was obtuse, the engineering flawed, the supervision slipshod, and the workmanship atrocious. Although touted as a solution to Boston's traffic congestion, it was clear as work commenced that, even if it came in at projected cost and was flawlessly built, its provisions would be at best inadequate. Yet, it's been defective from the start, and now the hack Romney, the crook Reilly, and a cast of thousands are all frantically playing Cover Your A$$ and scapegoating the nearest convenient Target Of Opportunity. In truth, there's enough blame to go around the state bureaucracy and the state legislature several times over, but in a Marxist entity - as history clearly shows - everything, and I do mean everything, slowly turns to cr@p. In any case, everyone who had anything to do with this project should be in jail, along with the entire state government machine of Massacusetts.
