DOT decides fate of commissioner's position

The Department of Transportation will meet today to discuss the fate of Commissioner Gena Abraham’s position. The full board will determine whether Abraham retains the credibility of carrying out her reforms in the office after she had an unethical relationship with the recently-resigned chairman Mike Evans.

After meeting with Abraham Governor Perdue said she should keep her job. Besides that he said you can’t control love. "There's no light switch in relationships that comes on that comes on one day. It's not like that. When you work with somebody, you develop a mutual respect that comes from admiration and then it develops into deeper feelings than that."

Perdue said that she’s resolved to carry through with her reforms for the DOT.

Most board members agree with her course of reform.
