In late November 2013, state Sen. Adriano Espaillat of New York’s 31st District, said to his colleagues that while the George Washington Bridge “Bridgegate” incident appeared to have been initiated by New Jersey appointees attempting to influence their home states political process, “the Port Authority remains a bi-state agency. We are linked …by economic resources, integrated planning and shared oversight responsibilities.”
That is indeed true. But two other states are linked as well. And Connecticut and Pennsylvania deserve to be a part of the governance of what is now the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
