A senior White House official confirmed to CBS News that the Vice Chairman of the National Transport Protection Board, appointed by President Joe Biden, was dismissed late last year.
Alvin Brown was ousted on Tuesday. Brown, a Democrat who was the first African American elected mayor of Jacksonville in Florida, appointed Biden as Vice Chairman of the NTSB in December. Brown joined the board in early 2021, taking oath on the same day, a Republican named Tod Inman who was also employed in Biden.
The NTSB is an independent organization that members of the board have confirmed by the President and have confirmed by the Senate to serve for a five -year term. The President nominated the chairs and the vice chair for three years in these roles. The chair requires separate Senate confirmation.
