The Connecticut Port Authority is under scrutiny again, this time from both political parties about spending at the quasi-public agency.
Democratic Senator Cathy Osten has proposed legislation that would disband the Port Authority and transfer their responsibilities back to the state transportation department
Osten said it’s time.
“We’ve been dealing with it for three years. ‘cause the project is an important project, we need to make sure that someone who handles hundred-million-dollar contracts or more, which the Department of Transportation handles on a regular basis when they’re building large bridges and other large pieces of infrastructure. It’s clear that we need someone that can handle that.”
