Gov. Jay Nixon appointed a Kansas City attorney to replace car deal Mike Kehoe on the state Highways and Transportation Commission.
Nixon appointed Stephen Miller to the board that oversees transportation issues percolating around the state. He replaces Kehoe, who resigned earlier this summer to pursue a state Senate bid.
According to a press release from Nixon’s office, Miller is an attorney for “Miller Schirger and has more than 25 years experience in construction law.”
“Steve Miller not only has an extensive background in transportation and construction issues, he has strong support from major business and trade organizations,” Nixon said in a statement. “He will be a valuable member of the Highways and Transportation Commission as it sets the course for meeting Missouri’s transportation needs in the coming years.”
Miller will take on his position immediately. But he still needs to be confirmed by the Missouri Senate.
