WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Transportation Security Administration Thursday fired an employee it had hired after she’d been fired from a top job in Minnesota for unprofessional conduct following the collapse of the Interstate 35-West bridge. Sonia Pitt was fired from her $84,600-a-year Minnesota state job last November only to sign on to the TSA for $89,900 seven months later. Pitt, 44, became a highly publicized object of scorn in Minneapolis last year when it was disclosed that she failed to return to Minnesota immediately after the tragedy. Instead, Pitt finished a conference in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and took an unauthorized trip to Washington. She returned to Minnesota about 11 days after the August 1, 2007, collapse. |
