Very Interesting.
To clean up the mess, Schumer proposed a seven-point makeover of the agency, which would include:
- The executive director should be elected by the board, not appointed by a governor, as opposed to the current shared bistate leadership with the executive director splitting control with the agency chairman and the deputy executive director;
- The commissioners need to be selected for their expertise, not their political links;
- More transparency in finances and contracts could reduce conflicts of interest, with at least an annual review;
- Billions of dollars should not be spent on projects that generate no revenues, and there should be a ban on spending agency money on projects in either state;
- And the agency's board of commissioners should choose its executive director.
