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
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.
