"Amid rare revenue drop, Massport tightens its belt; Agency will cut $13m by trimming payroll, other costs" by Katie Johnston Chase, Globe Staff | June 26, 2009
Citing an estimated decline in revenue, the Massachusetts Port Authority said yesterday that it will slash its workforce by 6 percent, implement a wage freeze, and reduce spending as part of a plan to cut its fiscal year 2010 budget by $13 million.
With the exception of the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the 2010 fiscal year marks the first time that operating revenue is projected to decline in more than 30 years....
What a CASH COW that QUASI-PUBLIC (thus unanswerable to said public) turned out to be for some people!
The authority will achieve the workforce reduction through a hiring freeze. Additionally, the authority will reduce overtime spending, cut its long-term retirement benefit liability by 40 percent, and freeze wages for nonunion employees and for union members whose contracts expire in July. Spending on consultants, travel, and training will also be trimmed.
So THEY SAY!
Aaaaand, here's the "STIMULUS" STEALING:
Separately, US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said yesterday that Massport will receive $5.3 million from the Federal Aviation Administration, the second installment of a $13.3 million allocation for improvements to Logan Airport’s Runway 9-27. The funds are part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The AGENDA-PUSHING NEVER ENDS!!
(Crackle, sound of radio chatter: Uh, control tower we have a problem. It appears we are STUCK in the RUNWAY! Background comment: It's like a TAR PIT OUT HERE!)
The Westfield-Barnes Airport is also receiving stimulus funds for runway improvements.
You know what? THEY CAN KEEP IT!
The LOOTING has to END -- especially when we are PAYING INTEREST ON IT!
The FAA has granted the City of Westfield $503,000, the second installment of a $1.3 million face lift for the airport’s primary runway. The FAA is allocating $1.1 billion to airports under the Recovery and Reinvestment Act. About 3,400 airports are eligible.
That's JOB CREATION, 'eh? RUNWAYS for PLANES?
Everywhere you turn the globalist grid is being constructed. When 80% of us are gone, they will have plenty of food and ethanol as well as freedom of movement while military and security forces keep the slaves in line.
