The Sound Transit board of directors will soon announce the name of a new CEO to lead the public agency with its $4-billion budget.
When the announcement is made, that person likely would have been hired hours or even days before the public will get to know who it is.
To add insult to injury, the public has also been shut out of any vetting process, including being able at least to participate or watch interviews conducted by Sound Transit board members. Not even the five finalists are being made public. That’s unacceptable.
