It goes back to an earlier point I was trying to make about where on the spectrum, if you will, the port authority lands. lf the port authority is going to become more of a regulatory body but some of the commercial aspects of it are going to be siphoned off, it is okay to have a representative board with such representation, because there is no direct impact or influence on profit-making.
If the port authority is going to be as it is now, where it ultimately is in the profit-making business, having a representative body would put those individuals in a conflict of interest. Right now, the representatives on the port authority board have a fiduciary duty ultimately to the port authority to do what is best for the port authority to generate revenue.
It becomes an issue of how the pendulum is going to swing, and what direction the lawmakers are going to give on where the port is going to exist.
