Ship Out Port Authority
NY Daily News - Letters to the Editor - January 3, 2003
Dear Editor:
Re "Port Authority's Downtown Scam" (Dec. 29):
Manhattan: I applaud your editorial on the Port
Authority's outrageous behavior ("Port Authority's downtown
scam," Dec. 29). I have a particular interest in the
redevelopment of downtown, especially at Ground Zero. My husband,
Rich, lost his life there.
I was not surprised to read that the PA has been
"planning in secret." That is its modus operandi. Where are the
governors of New York and New Jersey? Are they not responsible
for overseeing the PA? I urge Gov. Pataki and Gov. Jim McGreevey
to release this bistate agency from the land downtown and to
seriously consider the deal exchanging the World Trade Center
site for airport land. Put the PA back where it belongs - in
bridges, tunnels and airports. It doesn't belong in the
construction business, and certainly not in planning for this
sacred ground.
Maximum rental space should not be the priority
for downtown. The Port Authority, a bistate agency with immunity
from building and fire codes, should no longer have a place
there. De-claw the PA and send it on its way!
