Convention wrap

The final full day of the NSSGA convention featured the annual Board of Directors meeting. One of the speakers at the meeting, Deputy Secretary of Transportation Maria Cino, joked about her lack of experience in transportation issues. I didn't think that was wise, with memories of inexperienced former FEMA chief Michael Brown still fresh in people's minds. It was good to hear her talk up Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta, a transportation true-believer. Nice also to hear about TRIP's plans to celebrate this year's 50th anniversary of the interstate highway system. Your comment?
