I am a retired economist. I worked for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for 33 years. I wrote an annual report that was the subject of a press conference by the Executive Director. The report received wide media coverage and extensive distribution both within and outside the agency. Also, I wrote a quarterly report for our Board of Commissioners analyzing the results of each of the agencies activities.
