DOT board chair resigns over romance

State Transportation Board chairman Mike Evans says he will resign his post because of a growing personal relationship with department commissioner Gena Abraham.

Evans told the DOT board of his intentions Thursday. He has been with the agency for five years. Abraham has held her post for five months.

DOT policy forbids romantic relationships between members of the agency’s chain of command. Commissioner Abraham reports to the board, which Evans chairs.

The board plans to hold a special meeting on Monday to discuss the issue.
