## Resource

MBTA General Manager Phillip Eng is facing backlash after admitting he pulled an employee’s hair at a team dinner two years ago — a moment he called a mistake and apologized for, saying it was insensitive. Governor Maura Healey stands by him, expressing full confidence in his leadership, while the MBTA spokesperson insists any claims of harassment are unfounded. Eng says he’s focused on moving forward and strengthening teamwork, as the agency works to keep services running smoothly for millions of riders. The incident, resurfacing now, underscores the importance of accountability — but also the need to look ahead and keep the transit system moving.
