How do you solve a problem named "Kopelousos?"
Last year, after constantly shaking my head at the poorly thought-out moves/banal awareness campaigns of FDOT, I added FDOT head Stephanie Kopelousos to my list of Google Alerts, and that move has paid the sort of dividends I'd hope for from Day One.
I am continually informed of her incompetent plans, the current state of her sloppy thinking, with quotes, as she flits from one part of the Sunshine State to another, traveling largely in stealth mode, dodging questions.
I urge those of you who question the practicality of the 95 Express project in a chaotic place like Miami, to consider doing a Google Alert of her yourself.
You'll discover that there is a whole world of criticism of her and FDOT from all over the state, including mine: that she seems to be deathly afraid of being in a room full of well-informed citizens, with press in the room.
She prefers to be with govt. officials and industry types.
