Northrop Grumman announced that they would sell their SETA arm TASC earlier this month. This was due to new conflict of interest rules limiting what contracts the company could bid on. Now the Defense Department is having a forum to discuss these rules and what can be done to implement them in a way to protect companies from having to do what Northrop just did.

  Tom Zawacki brings lengthy experience from Toyota, Nissan, Ford 

  FRANKFORT, Ky. (Oct. 23, 2009) – Thomas O. Zawacki, who compiled a record of managerial accomplishment during a lengthy career in the automotive industry, has been appointed commissioner of the Department of Vehicle Regulation by Gov. Steve Beshear.

  Zawacki, whose appointment was effective Oct. 16, retired in June from Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America. He was general manager of the General Affairs Department, with offices in Georgetown and Erlanger.

  As commissioner, Zawacki will oversee a department with three divisions: Driver Licensing, Motor Carriers and Motor Vehicle Licensing.

  “I’m honored to be considered for this position,” said Zawacki.  “I believe my long history of administrative management experience can bring value to the Transportation Cabinet and to the citizens of the commonwealth.”

  Acting Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock said Zawacki’s expertise and managerial ability are well-suited to a department that provides essential public services in every corner of the commonwealth.

  “Tom’s vast leadership experience will be a valuable asset for the Transportation Cabinet,” Hancock said.

  In 22 years with Toyota, Zawacki’s responsibilities ran the gamut from purchasing to production planning and new project management, facilities control, environmental engineering, corporate and business services, community relations and corporate communications.

  Prior to joining Toyota, he was purchasing section manager for Nissan Motor Manufacturing USA. He began his career in the industry as a buyer for Ford Motor Co. in 1976.

  In Kentucky, Zawacki also serves as chairman of the Board of Regents of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) and is a former chairman of the KCTCS Foundation. He also served on the boards of the Japan-America Society of Kentucky and United Way of the Bluegrass and as president of the Center for Creative People and Organizations. He is a former chairman of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, the Lexington Urban League and the Georgetown Community Hospital.

  Zawacki is a native of Birmingham, Mich., and a graduate of Ferris State University. He holds a master’s in procurement management from Webster University. He and his wife, Debbie, reside in Georgetown. They have two married daughters and two grandchildren.

• State panel recommends creation of bi-state authority to spearhead Louisville-Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges project
  

  FRANKFORT, Ky. (Oct. 22, 2009) – The Kentucky Public Transportation Infrastructure Authority, appointed eight days earlier by Gov. Steve Beshear, today voted to recommend creation of a bi-state authority that would develop a plan for financing the Louisville-Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges project.

  “Today we take a historic step,” said Gov. Beshear, who received the recommendation. “It is a necessary step if our vision of two new Ohio River bridges between Louisville and southern Indiana is to become reality.”

  The project, which also would involve the reconstruction of the Kennedy Interchange, where Interstates 64, 65 and 71 come together in downtown Louisville, is currently estimated at $4.1 billion. Kentucky’s share would be $2.9 billion – too great a cost for Kentucky’s traditional system of funding transportation projects.

  Recognizing that, Gov. Beshear proposed legislation for creation of a special state authority – the Kentucky Public Transportation Infrastructure Authority – to oversee the development and financing of “mega” projects such as the Ohio River bridges. The General Assembly enacted the legislation as House Bill 3 of the 2009 special session.
