Md. Senate Leader: Transportation Official Should Lose Position

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland’s Senate president said Tuesday that he believes a senior state transportation official should be relieved of his leadership role because of an “appalling lack of professionalism and substantive understanding” about a law that creates a scoring system to rank transportation projects in the state’s funding process.

Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, in a letter obtained by The Associated Press, urged Transportation Secretary Pete Rahn to move Deputy Transportation Secretary James Ports out of his position.

“The citizens of this state deserve employees operating at senior levels who actually know what they are talking about and have the ability to deal with other government officials with mutual respect and civility,” Miller, a Democrat, wrote to Rahn about Ports.

Doug Mayer, a spokesman for Gov. Larry Hogan, said Miller “has a long and very colorful history of writing impulsive but always rhetorically enjoyable letters with people he’s deemed to offend him.”

Miller, Busch and their Political buddies should be removed since they are irresponsible in running the State responsibly and spending responsibly. Miller and his cronies do not treat the MD tax payer with respect and civility. These Politians should be removed ASAP because of "an appalling lack of professionalism substantive understanding" about being an elected public servant.
