The two top mass transit officials in Atlanta have been named the finalists to become the next general manager of the MBTA, state transportation officials confirmed Monday, after more than a year of temporary leadership in one of Boston’s most politically challenging jobs.
Both candidates, Beverly A. Scott and Dwight A. Ferrell, are expected to be interviewed in public by the state’s transportation board Sept. 24, and a vote to hire one of the candidates could come immediately after the interviews, Transportation Secretary Richard A. Davey said.

Why go to another state to fill these positions? and why are both candidates "African Americans"? Hasn't our current head of the Boston Public Schools proven that trying to please only one community in the state will not be a success for all of us.
Again, another example of pandering to one community in an election year.
