Lachlan Markay at the Washington Free Beacon examines the prospects of a U.S. Department of Transportation run by Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx. You’ll recognize the name of one observer who’s less than enthusiastic about Foxx’s prospects.
Foxx “will spend a god-awful amount of other people’s money on stupid ideas” if he is confirmed as secretary of transportation, predicted John Hood, president of the North Carolina-based John Locke Foundation.
“If Obama is hiring Anthony Foxx because he has shown himself to be a brilliant local leader in the area of transit, the president’s making a mistake,” Hood said.
If you ask, “Oh, yeah, Hood, how would you address transportation issues?” — he’s happy to answer.
