“I believe toll money was subverted to Ground Zero building”
That shouldn’t have surprised anyone, as the Port Authority owned the twin towers. Anyone wondering why things work out this way should read the classic biography “The Power Broker” or the classic sociological study “The Death and Life of Great American Cities.”
I’ve peeked at “The Power Broker” - huge book. It’s the story of Robert Moses who built many great things in NYC but destroyed the South Bronx and other neighborhoods in the process.
The Port Authority is one of the most corrupt entities in New York and New Jersey. Loathesome.
