NEW: MTS Board selects Stephen Whitburn to replace Fletcher as chair
SAN DIEGO — The Metropolitan Transit System Board of Directors has selected Stephen Whitburn as its new chairperson. Whitburn had been the interim chair since Nathan Fletcher's resignation in wake of a sexual misconduct scandal.
Before Thursday's vote, members of the community called in for the public comment portion of the meeting. Some people criticized the board for taking too long to appoint a new chairperson. However, this is not the first time the board has voted on this motion. During April's meeting, there were six rounds of voting, but the board couldn't secure the two-thirds threshold needed to appoint someone.
