Montebello's newest transportation head
Talk about climbing the corporate ladder...
MONTEBELLO - A former city bus driver and manager at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority has become the city's newest department head.
Aurora Jackson, 37, will be the transportation director overseeing an operating budget of $22 million and 170 employees - the city's largest department.
"She has all the tools to be an excellent director," said City Administrator Richard Torres. "We have been without a permanent leader for a long time."
The position was open for nearly nine months after Allan Pollock left in June. Jackson, also known as AJ, began the stint in April and says her 15 years of experience will aid her in her new post.
