She is reported to have prevented MBTA employees
from reporting problems with the system - for years.
Amazing what an incompetent person can accomplish in just 2 years
Class Warfare!
Sounds like an AA appointment. Do I have to even look?
Gee, not to sound racist or anything, but she seems like a typical Deval Patrick appointment. She was most likely appointed for her political connections, and likely “diversity” as well, not her proven executive ability or knowledge of large-scale transportation systems and logistics.
She acted the part—doing little, putting off problems, and traveling 1/3 of the year, most likely pontificating on social issues.
My surprise is that she’s gone so early in Charlie Baker’s tenure, especially after she got the expression of confidence of the rest of the Department of Transportation honchos. Something big behind the scenes must have come to Baker’s attention. He must have caught wind of some gross mismanagement above and beyond the fact that the “T” couldn’t handle the snow removal.
IBTDSERP (In before the “Did she ever return?” post.)
Good point; "because they were on the trips themselves?"
Nope. She has a PH.D. in political science with a specialty in public administration. She’s been in the public transportation sector all over the country for 35 years, riding the diversity gravy train. Her bio seems to emphasize her role in diversity and human resources planning. She probably can’t tell the difference between a train and a bus, though.
Nope.
Keep in mind, the Republican Governor Charlie Baker JUST got elected in November. I am sure he asked for her resignation. She was appointed to her position by Obamas buddy the former Governor Coupe De Val.
This is the same state government that had Whitey Buldgers brother running the state university system until he retired.
>> She probably cant tell the difference between a train and a bus, though.
Now she’ll get a good look at the underside of the bus... maybe that’ll help. ;-)
BIG SPENDER--MBTA General Manager Beverly Scott
Beverly Scott
0bama got a Law Degree. Does that prove he is competent rather than just being passed along?
Watch this press conference:

This is reason one.
The T has been awful these last 2 weeks. The excuses are absurd. Boston gets snow and it is cold every winter. Furthermore it is the newer sections of rail that are failing (built in the 80’s and 90’s). There are no 111 year old trains, rails and switches in the system. The T has spent most of their budget upgrading stations to ADA and of course pensions.
I doubt she has even been to Jamaica Plain.
