Delisi's Done Deal
As expected, Governor Rick Perry has tapped his former chief-of-staff, Deidre Delisi, to chair the Texas Transportation Commission, which oversees TXDOT. She replaces Ric Williamson, who had planned to step down before dying recently of a heart attack.
Delisi was picked for the commission along with William Meadows of Fort Worth. Their terms expire Feb.1, 2013. Perry's statement:
"Texas faces serious challenges in providing a transportation infrastructure that will sustain our state's rapid pace of population and trade growth," said Gov. Perry. "Both Deirdre and Bill have the integrity and expertise to ensure that these needs are met efficiently and responsibly. I am confident their contribution to the commission will maintain the momentum of the late Commissioner Ric Williamson's pioneering vision, and secure comprehensive transportation solutions that will reduce traffic congestion, improve safety and keep our state's doors open to economic growth and success."
