	Amorello vied for projects post at 2012 Olympics - The Boston Globe
		Amorello's talks with the Olympic officials are the first clear sign that he is looking to move on from his high-profile post at the Turnpike Authority, where he has repeatedly rebuffed demands by Governor Mitt Romney that he resign over his handling of the leaks in the $14.6-billion Big Dig project.
		The job entails overseeing the building of $4.2 billion in ''key venues, facilities, and infrastructure," such as the primary Olympic stadium, arenas, and roads, according to a press release announcing Higgins's appointment.
		But British Olympic officials will still benefit from the expertise of someone with intimate knowledge of the Big Dig: Jack K. Lemley, the construction industry titan who helped blow the whistle on the project's leaks last fall, while he was working as a consultant for the Turnpike Authority.
