The next chapter in outgoing Metro CEO George Greanias’ career will be much like the one that ends Dec. 31 when he steps down as head of Houston’s regional bus and rail system.

Metropolitan Transit Authority board members Thursday accepted Greanias’ resignation, named an interim replacement and approved a six-month, $117,500 contract with Greanias – equivalent to half his annual salary – to consult for Metro.

“Don’t think you’re getting away scot-free,” board member Carrin Patman told Greanias after a 90-minute closed session. “We have a job for you.”
