Shakeup at the Delaware River Port Authority

Hour 1

The Delaware River Port Authority is facing a fresh round of scrutiny, with elected leaders on both sides of the river calling for investigations and audits.

Charges of nepotism, conflicts of interest and improper no-bid contracts are bubbling up to the surface, and DRPA board members who approved staff members’ salaries are now publicly lamenting those same salaries as too high.
