James Kerasiotes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James J. Kerasiotes was the director of the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority and the project manager of the Big Dig in Boston during the 1990s. He was asked to resign by Massachusetts governor Paul Celucci on April 11, 2001, because of cost over runs. The Big Dig has continued to suffer cost overruns and other setbacks since then.

Before entering state government, Kerasiotes was publisher of NewsWest, a suburban newspaper in eastern Massachusetts, and later a director of Tab Communications, a chain of weekly newspapers west of Boston. [1] He also was involved in the creation of the monster board.
