July 20, 2006Senator Baddour Tours Closed Big Dig Tunnels
On July 20th, Senator Baddour, Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Transportation, became one of the first Legislators to tour the Big Dig tunnels closed following the tragic death of Milena Del Valle. Since the accident, Senator Baddour has called for the resignation of Turnpike Chairman Matt Amorello and supported legislation granting Governor Romney the power to conduct a comprehensive safety review of the entire project. Above all, Senator Baddour feels the project needs to be de-politicized as soon as possible: “We need to come up with a commission,” Baddour said. “No politicians, no elected officials, just experts in construction and engineering.”
