Now that the proverbial cat is out of the bag and everyone knows current MTA Board member Nancy Shevell is set to marry Paul McCartney, The Times decided to profile her. The article, which appeared in yesterday’s New York section, is light on details and high on fluff. The current board member will carry the honorific Lady McCartney due to the former Beatle’s knighthood, and her fellow board members will fete her at some point.
While Shevell couldn’t be reached for comment, the pieces notes that her term will expire at the end of next month. As she is a freight executive who was once chided for missing too many board meetings, I’ve recently questioned whether she will be reappointed. Now if only The Times would profile other MTA Board members who aren’t set to marry folks as famous as Paul McCartney.

The only MTA board member hot enough for the press to bother to write about.
“Her name was Magil and she called herself Nil.
But everyone knew her as Nancy.”
The Beatles – “Rocky Raccoon” (and sung by Paul as well!!!)
