Globe is reporting that he’s gone.
I’d like to think it was my diary here last month (when I had reservations at Massimino’s) that was the last nail in his coffin but maybe I think too much of myself…
In a money-saving move that backfired, he cut staff levels along the Massachusetts Turnpike, creating the Easter traffic delays that, in some places, stretched for seven miles. The day after, he refused to back down, telling drivers they would have to “grin and bear it,” buy Fast Lane passes to get through more quickly next time, and understand that his agency’s lack of money would hurt service.
The nationwide search should begin shortly to find a former MA Legislator to run the Pike. Maybe Sen Walsh is available.
