The Port Authority is basically saying to Dubai Ports World: Since the improvements we paid for have made your terminal so much more valuable for a prospective buyer, why don't you cough up some cash to repay us for all the work we've done?

..and since we've been taxed to "rebuild" or "recondition" the tracks at the docks I'm sure we all will receive a little tax reduction...(grab a seat). Don't you find it just a bit out of whack that 6 or 7 other major cities with docks have already signed on with this deal without holding out for more $$$$$$ and they seem to have done well making sure their stuff has been properly maintained?

The Port Authority of NY and NJ does not get any taxpayer funds. They are a quasi-public agency that gets all of their revenue from the facilities they operate (airports, ports, bridges & tunnels, etc.).
