Pamela Lowe, the new ITD director, flew calmly through 48 pages of slides, charts, graphs, tables and solid information about everything that’s going on at the state Transportation Department in her presentation to JFAC this morning, and then, when members asked her extensive questions for close to another two hours, she came up with more charts and graphs along with firm, candid and detailed answers, often including specific examples. “I’d ask for a bonus if I were you,” Rep. Fred Wood told her. “You’ve had the hardest job here in front of JFAC, and I thank you for your candor in your presentation.”
