The regional airports board announced Wednesday it would fire a former board member given a $180,000-per-year job — a job that was first revealed by The Washington Examiner and earned a public rebuke from U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.

Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority officials said Mame Reiley would no longer work for the authority as of Oct. 1 and would receive her one-year severance payment of $180,000.
