That's a big pot

Check out the last time on the last page of the Port Authority's 10-year capital plan -- They got $2 billion set aside essentially for the governor-elect's discretion.

December 15, 2006 - Governor-elect Elliot Spitzer selected Elliot Sander, the director of the Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management at New York University, to head the Metropolitan Transportation Authority today. Mr. Casale, THE Metropolitan transportation Authority deputy director of security for counterterrorism said, “I applaud Mr. Spitzer’s selection and I’m confident that Mr. Sander will put the M.T.A. back on track.

Mr. Casale said, “I’m asking the new leadership to revisit the $212 million emergency Lockheed Martin security contract, which is $80 million over budget and behind schedule, and review the agency’s renovation at 2 Broadway, which originally was expected to cost $39 million and is now $400 million over budget and six years behind schedule.”

Mr. Casale added, “Exposing corruption at M.T.A. reveals a world of mismanagement, favoritism and graft not normally seen in government. I wish Mr. Sanders success and ask that he address these issues.”
