More Big Dig fallout
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published July 19, 2006
BOSTON - Gov. Mitt Romney supplied written allegations of mismanagement to the head of Boston's Big Dig, while crews worked Tuesday to reinforce tunnels in a highway network where ceiling panels fell and crushed a motorist. Romney said the fatal accident bolstered his long-standing argument that the $14.6-billion highway project has been mismanaged and that Matthew Amorello should be removed as chairman and chief executive of the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority. A July 27 hearing was scheduled on Amorello's dismissal. Romney declined to release the specific allegations and said the hearing would be private. "I haven't released the personnel records of any person at this stage and wouldn't intend to do it now while this hearing is pending," Romney said. "We believe that the failures at the Turnpike Authority are now so extensive and so clear that a court will agree that chairman Amorello should be removed."
