I'm of the mindset that at this point we require legislation that mandates the commissioner must have a planning or transportation engineering degree. I have no qualms if they hire from outside, like poaching a qualified engineer from the private sector or from another DOT elsewhere, but it should not be allowed to put just anyone you want in there. These crony hires are damaging the city. Ydanis could at least help by basically letting his actually qualified deputies do all the talking and he just sits quietly and supports his team and tells the mayor the issues his staff are relaying.
