“The current CEO of Sound Transit is Peter Rogoff. He served as President Obama’s Federal Transit Administrator and Under Secretary of Transportation for Policy in the U.S. Department of Transportation.”
Sound Transit has been given the authority to spend so much money that it attracts even these big time grafters. This type of agency has almost no oversight at all and the opportunities to channel money and favors toward your political cronies are almost unlimited. This creates huge opportunities for quid pro quo arrangements... the types of arrangements that the Clintons have been made wealthy by.
My guess is that Peter Rogoff, the CEO of Sound Transit is set for life. Pierce County has reputation for extreme corruption. I am very aware of extremely questionable arrangements made by one of our most notorious local politicians, John Ladenburg when he was the head of Sound Transit.
