A federal official says a Minnesota emergency manager who was fired after taking an unauthorized out-of-state trip in the aftermath of last year’s bridge collapse has been fired again from her new job with the federal Transportation Safety Administration.

TSA spokeswoman Ellen Howe says 44-year-old Sonia Pitt was fired Thursday after an internal investigation.

Pitt worked for the TSA for about two months.

Pitt was fired in November from her job as director of homeland security for the Minnesota Department of Transportation for travel improprieties and misuse of state resources. She had taken an unauthorized, state-paid trip to Washington, D.C., during the Interstate 35W bridge collapse and didn’t return to Minnesota for nearly two weeks.
