New Jersey Ranks 2nd in Hazardous Air Pollutants, and This Isn't Helping

This video provides some background.



In New Jersey, Leader of an Agency Under Investigation Is Given a Judge’s Robe. (The New York Times, 1/20/2014)

It stinks to high heaven here.  John J. Matheussen was Chief Executive Officer of the Delaware River Port Authority.  (Note that it now has an Acting Chief Executive Officer).  

Matheussen allowed the agency he led to distribute a shitload (yeah, I'm summarizing in my own words here) of loans and grants, usually with little or no documentation required,  And as time went on, the emphasis focused on grants.  (See pages 57-58.)  Not too good for the Authority's bottom line, as you can well imagine.

It's probably best to hold your nose as your read the entire article.  It's worth it!
