‘She’s got a ticket to marry…’

In frivolous MTA news, board member Nancy Shevell and her long-term beau Paul McCartney are getting married, Christine Haughney of The Times reported this week. Shevell, who cut her transportation teeth in the freight and shipping industries, has made headlines in the past for her relationship with the former Beatle and for skipping out on MTA Board meetings. She was appointed to the board in 2001 by then Gov. George Pataki, and her appointment expires at the end of June. It’s unclear if Andrew Cuomo will reappoint her or use the first vacancy on the MTA Board during his term to appoint someone he knows with more rail experience.
