Well, as we mentioned Tuesday in the Morning Roundup, it’s official: Dan Tangherlini, patron saint of all things Metro, has removed his name from the list of candidates for WMATA’s top job. Presumed mayor-elect Adrian Fenty mentioned Tangherlini’s name as a candidate for city administrator back in September, and at a press event Monday, the two officially declared their partnership. Assuming Fenty wins the November general election, Tangherlini will serve as his City Administrator, in charge of overseeing the District’s numerous agencies and the day to day operation of the D.C. government, as well as implementing legislative action and policy measures.

So what does this mean for Metro?
