THE RECORD
TRENTON — Port Authority officials were no-shows at a Thursday hearing called by lawmakers who criticized the embattled agency for secrecy and a lack of accountability.
Legislators advanced bills that they said would tighten controls and shed light on the agency. But some acknowledged that making the bills into laws could be a challenge because identical legislation must be approved in both New Jersey and New York to have any effect on the bi-state agency.
The authority’s top executive from New Jersey, former state Sen. Bill Baroni, did not attend the hearing. A Port Authority spokeswoman said the invitation from the committee was not addressed to Baroni, but rather to his New York counterpart who was in Washington D.C. on Thursday.
