This post has big opportunity to showcase Pete's talents, combined with the REAL need to upgrade the nation's infrastructure. While I think he wears the "mayor" label as a badge of honor to show Main Street cred, obvioulsy this cabinet position puts him in a new league for national exposure.

Carpetbaggery here, but maybe he can move to a state where his senatorial aspirations can be realized down the road.
