If any of the people on this blog have done your research about Mr.Jackson, you would know that he is more that qualified for this job, maybe over qualified. I am native New Yorker, now living in DC for the past 5 years. About ten years ago, I remember seeing s guy on the new in NY. He worked for the MTA for over 25 years before he even went to Chicago to head their control center. So far you can see he has been in management/leadership positions in the 2 top transit systems in the country! Not to mention international transit experience with Connex. He's been a CEO and COO and now he's in DC in a Associate Director position? Are you kidding me? Jackson is more that qualified. As far as age, this guy isnt even 55. Hes been in the transit game since his early 20s and worked his way up through the ranks. Obviously you can see that transit is this man's passion. When I take the metro to work I see so much crap and wish I was back in NYC because DC service sucks. Maybe we should give this guy a chance and stop pre-judging becuase the last position he had was as the head of the most improved transit system in the state of SCsince his tenure. His record speaks for itself. Ready or not DC, we're going to have to deal with his good track record of efficiency...
