Gov. Mitt Romney put plans in place to seize control of inspections in the Big Dig tunnel system where falling ceiling panels fatally crushed a woman, saying an independent assessment was necessary to restore public trust.
Romney was expected to sign an emergency bill Friday morning, passed overwhelmingly by the Legislature late Thursday, that would also give him ultimate say on when the tunnels reopen, instead of the Turnpike Authority chairman.
