As the clock ticks down, New York City Transit Commissioner Janno Lieber's top deputy, Veronica Vanterpool, is waiting in the wings for a key promotion. However, her potential appointment as the new MTA Chair has been held up by the Governor's office, leaving her in limbo. Sources close to the situation indicate that Governor Kathy Hochul's office is still deliberating on the selection process, with a decision expected soon.
