Leaderless Expressway Authority faces critics, tenuous future.
Byline: Larry Lebowitz
Nov. 13--It was a surreal scene inside the Biltmore Hotel's Alhambra Ballroom as 200 high-powered politicians, lobbyists, engineers and construction executives gathered last week to send off Servando Parapar, the only executive director in the 10-year history of the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority. Less than 24 hours earlier, Ysela Llort, the widely respected assistant state transportation secretary who had been picked to succeed Parapar, withdrew from consideration. Llort was asking for a lot of money to take the reins, but she described the three-month negotiations with MDX chairman Darryl Sharpton as confusing and erratic. And MDX's final counteroffer was less than Sharpton's previous one, making Llort's decision to bow out a fait accompli.
