Transportation Gets A Good One

Donald Trump is nominating Elaine Chao to be Secretary of Transportation.  Chao has worked in two previous administrations and understands how the federal government bureaucracy works.  She's a very good choice to head the department that will oversee a great deal of the major infrastructure construction that Trump has promised.  Chao ought to be able to get the program underway and completed unlike the Obama program for "shovel ready jobs" that never really got off the ground.

It's also worth noting that Chao is married to the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.  I assume that someone will soon start squawking about something because of that.  The key here, however, is that Chao has accomplished a great deal in her life wholly apart from her husband.  she is a fine selection.
