NITA and service board members and executives

[Busjack]

Tribune: Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle proposes new transit board members. The article describes the appointment process and who serves on what board. Some serve on both the NITA board and a service board, others only on a service board. Most appear to meet the standards set in the NITA Act, although a couple of mayors on the Pace Board seem weak, IMO.

Tribune article  on Mayor Johnson's appointments. Most seem weak and the same old stuff. Notable is that Requejo (who is one of the few I thought was qualified) was not nomonated, and Tamley comes back to replace Arfa.

I found a post from Richard Day, in which he grades the appointments. He felt Toni Peckwinkle really got the concept correct, and Brandon Johnson turned in last year's homework hoping for a higher grade.
