| Abstract: | Anyone who uses the facilities of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey knows firsthand about their unavoidable hassles and miseries. The commutes are hell. The tolls are high. The agency's three airports consistently rank among the worst in the country for flight delays, according to the Federal Aviation Administration's monthly reports. But even users of Port Authority (PA) facilities - its bridges, tunnels, rail facilities, the port, three major airports, and many real estate developments in New York and northern New Jersey - may not realize the extent to which the PA, with its USD 2.7 billion budget, has become a machine for taxing commuters and draining money that should be going into infrastructure improvements. |
