“New Jersey Democrats are fuming over
last-minute vetoes issued by Govs. Christie and Andrew Cuomo of their proposed
overhaul of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. But while lawmakers
have expended great energy trying to overhaul that agency, they have left alone
another one with its own share of problems: the Delaware River Port Authority.”

The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Andrew Seidman writes today:
“In April, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
lawmakers stood near the Camden waterfront and took the unusual step of
announcing bistate legislation to reorganize the DRPA, which for more than a
year has been under investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Philadelphia
over hundreds of millions of dollars in politically connected
economic-development spending.
“The bill – which would prohibit such
spending, require biennial audits, and force the agency to comply with the two
states’ public-records laws – has advanced in Pennsylvania but gone nowhere in
the Garden State.”
