Because we insist on the naïve notion that politics can be removed from politics by creating unelected authorities to run things, we end up with the Port Authority of NY, a bi-state behemoth caught at the center of the GW Bridge scandal.
It's a Cuomo appointee who runs the Authority and reportedly there is a steady fight between board members from the two states over the agency's seven billion dollar budget and massive capital expenditures.
That the traffic tie ups happened says something about the Authority as well as the New Jersey Governor's staff who arranged it.
