Transportation Secretary Mineta Steps Down...
Associated Press:
Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta, the only Democrat in President Bush's Cabinet, will step down next month, Wouse press secretary Tony Snow said Friday.
Mineta, 74, was plagued with back problems during his tenure as transportation secretary and spent months working from home and the hospital. But he has since recovered, and Snow offered no explanation for why he has decided to leave now.
