With Washington Postponed, FAA Sticks With Nolan
The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation postponed a Wednesday vote to move Phil Washington’s nomination forward, putting off the selection of the next FAA head. Rationale varies according to rumor and allegiance, with Chairwoman of the Committee, Senator Maria Cantwell, saying the vote awaits additional information. On the other side of the aisle, rumors swirl that the nomination is on the rocks, without enough votes to guarantee Washington's installation.
