New Turnpike Authority Sworn In
Work on reforming the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority continues today. Gov. Romney swore in Mass. Secretary of Transportation as the acting head of the agency.
I won’t congratulate Cogliano for inheriting a headache such as this. But I wish him luck.

Dave adds: This quote from Governor Romney sums it all up:
“Traditionally, this agency has also been run for the benefit of political outsiders. Those interests will undoubtedly fight change. They may take a run at you over the coming years to do things that would be more like the practice of the past. I’d acknowledge that more important than the decisions you will make during your tenure on this board will be your insistence that this agency rebuff patronage, self-interests and favoritism always in favor of the public interest.”
