UPDATE:

From Speaker of the House Nick Mattiello:

“I appreciate the concerns expressed by Leader Newberry.  However, I have looked into the situation and if this issue was based on actual facts, I would request that an oversight hearing be held.  I have learned that the letter was written by a few Representatives based on their own personal concerns and not on any actions taken by the DOT.  I have found the DOT, under the new leadership of Director Alviti, to be very accommodating to the Representatives and the public.”
