That cesspit of waste, abuse, patronage jobs and incompetent spending known as Port Authority has yet again blew past previous spending levels. This time by a whopping $150 million largely driven by payroll costs including huge amounts of OT.
Some people are stuffing themselves!
It is comical that AC when meeting with DT yesterday in Washington, D.C. pushed for *MORE* federal money to the PA to help economies of NY and NJ harmed by covid-19 pandemic.
Robert Moses must be laughing his head off somewhere.

As noted the in the other place you posted this (technically cross-posting, but we won't tell any mods), this comment at the end of the article is pretty accurate.

If you are talking about people being overpaid compared with other places, you are really talking about PATH and the Port Authority police.
For anything else the average salary is high because there are no workers, only contract managers and executives. Practically every who works at the airports and seaport works for a private sector company, operating the facilities on behalf of the Port Authority. Comparative employment here, from the employment phase of the Census of Governments.
The rail unions are pretty strong union nationwide, and the cops, of course, are the cops. No politician who wants a future is going to crack down on them.

The federal government should do an extensive audit of every major agency in this state and hold accountability for waste, abuse and mismanagement. Trump is already hated in NJ and has nothing to lose. He might actually become more popular if he does!
