Romney moves to oust Big Dig chief as tunnel repairs continue
BOSTON --Gov. Mitt Romney supplied the head of Boston's Big Dig with written allegations of mismanagement and moved forward Tuesday in his efforts to oust him, while crews worked to repair a tunnel network where tons of ceiling panels fell, crushing a motorist. Romney has for years been a critic of Matthew Amorello, the chairman and chief executive of the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, which oversees the massive $14.6 billion highway project, and has repeatedly failed in his effort to get Amorello to step down. However, Romney said the fatal accident July 10 bolsters his argument the project has been mismanaged and Amorello should be removed as chief executive. A hearing was scheduled for July 27 on Amorello's dismissal. Romney refused to release the specific allegations and said the hearing would be private.Posted by: Fred 2006-07-19 |
