Mayor Anthony Foxx Nominated as Transportation Secretary

As seen in this Creative Loafing newspaper, Mayor Foxx and President Barack Obama have been networking at least since the Democratic National Convention came to Charlotte, NC.  The DNC was successfully held in Charlotte, NC in September 2012. The Lynx train system was key to getting into the uptown area.  It ran really smoothly.  Great police presence.  The crowds were upbeat and orderly.

There has been some controversy over the local Charlotte Douglas International Airport and how it is being controlled.

So Mayor Anthony Foxx's  nomination by President Obama is a logical choice in regards to the topic of transportation.
