Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who ran for president in 2020 on his record as the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is changing his official residence to Traverse City, Michigan, and will vote there.
Here's an idea worthy of the smart, innovative, bipartisan approach that got Buttigieg so much favorable attention during that presidential campaign: How about Buttigieg moves the Department of Transportation from Washington to Michigan with him? It would signal that the transportation future involves decentralization and rapid change rather than Washington-style command-and-control.
