Stuart Adams to Head Transportation Commission

Stuart Adams is going to take over the reins of the Transportation Commission. This is fantastic. Stuart is extremely smart, patient and fair. He entered the Legislature one term after me. Though it was immediately obvious that he was gifted, I first took close notice of him when, during floor debate on a bill I was running during his first term, he rolled me up in a ball and started bouncing me across the chamber. It was a Butch Cassidy moment; I was thinking, "Who is that guy? He's good."

From the article, it sounds like the news might have been dropped abruptly on current chair Glen Brown. If so, that's unfortunate. Glen has served the State well in many capacities, including his excellent and lengthy tenure as chair of the commission.
