Anthony McCord is new MTA Chief Transformation Officer, and everything this remains (intentionally) confusing. He& #39;s announced by the MTA but is subject to an MTA Board vote and reports to the Board (rather than to internal MTA management).

Additionally, the Alix Partners report is such a flimsy document that the MTA, at Cuomo& #39;s behest, is just running with, and it includes significant investment at the C-suite level at a time the MTA is supposed to cut costs. Most of these roles are duplicative.
This whole thing would make a great business school case study in how not to transform a bureaucracy, and yet, it& #39;s the path New York& #39;s giant transit system is careening down. Kinda boring, very important.
It& #39;s also still quite reasonable to think this is either an end-run around the legislature to quasi-privatize or laying the foundation to privatize the MTA. Where& #39;s the Assembly/Senate hearing here?
To me, the overarching question surrounding transformation is "what does Andrew Cuomo want out of this?" I don& #39;t have a good or any sense of the answer yet.
Here& #39;s @danarubinstein& #39;s story on McCord, to which I say to the highlighted part "lol yeah right."

I bet McCord& #39;s past experiences, per his LinkedIn profile, will go over well. Look at this focus on eliminating jobs and closing unionized production sites here. @ReinventAlbany calls him a "hatchet man."
He gettin& #39; paid. https://twitter.com/danarubinstein/status/1194688157444431872">https://twitter.com/danarubin...
