Attorney Julie Ciollo of the MBTA uses libelous Claims to Protect bad MBTA drivers!

Julie Ciollo, MBTA attorney, is a real piece of work, and the public needs to be protected from a malicious woman who uses deceit in order to protect a deficient bus driver from public scrutiny.

That's ok, people, there's another bad bus driver out there (actually, there are many) and our magazine is going to work to protect the public by shining some sunlight on crazed public employees.

A Team 5 investigation is exposing why the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority has allowed bus drivers with multiple suspensions, moving violations and accidents to be behind the wheel.

NewsCenter 5’s Sean Kelly spoke with lawmakers who are blasting the troubled transit agency for putting all of its passengers at unnecessary risk.

It took criminal charges related to running down a meter maid with a bus last August for the MBTA to pull Lataria Milton from behind the wheel.

Milton pleaded not guilty to the charges against her but Team 5 Investigates’ found her driving record was hardly clean before that.

Milton wouldn’t have been able to renew her license until she paid her car taxes, parking tickets and toll violation.  She was also more than 50 percent at fault in a 2010 crash according to her driving record. 

The Registry of Motor Vehicles suspended her license at the start of 2007, yet she still drove paying customers around for the MBTA for almost four months.

Joe Pesaturo, a spokesman for the MBTA said T officials didn’t know about any of it. He added that it could never happen again.

In 2009, the MBTA began receiving regular reports from the Registry whenever its drivers had their licenses suspended or revoked.

Team 5 Investigates found that system is failing passengers. The MBTA is still hiring drivers despite their bad records and keeping them behind the wheel even with their suspensions.

MBTA bus driver Forest Queen has a seven-page driving record that reveals since 1994 his license has been suspended by the RMV ten times, mostly for not paying his inspection sticker tickets on time.

One suspension occurred after the MBTA was checking with the registry. The agency put him back behind the wheel after his license was restored.
