How a power struggle over a Massachusetts Turnpike toll hike jeopardized Boston's Big Dig funding

The Big Dig experienced two great shufflings of the leadership deck. The first was in 1990, when Fred Salvucci stepped down. The second was in 2000, when Jim Kerasiotes stepped down. But this time, there was no heir apparent to take up the mantle and lead the project forward. Instead, there was chaos. This episode is about a power struggle that played out at the highest level of state politics, over who had ultimate authority over the Big Dig. That might sound like a simple question. Isn't it the governor? Or the secretary of transportation? Or Bechtel-Parsons? Federal Highway? The DPW? The answer is no. True power over the Big Dig laid in a shadowy corner of state government that was only barely part of the government at all: the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority.
