As the top transportation official in Massachusetts prepares to leave for a position in the Biden administration, Gov. Charlie Baker called the moment “incredibly bittersweet.”
Speaking with reporters Thursday, Baker spoke of his relationship with MassDOT Secretary and CEO Stephanie Pollack, who was named the deputy administrator of the Federal Highway Administration for the Biden-Harris Administration hours earlier.
Prior to Pollack joining the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, Baker said the two did not know one another. Her interview was scheduled on the recommendation of another and neither thought the appointment would work, the Republican governor said of Pollack, a Democrat.
