Pittsburgh's Port Authority has been in financial hot water for way too long. Historically, their wages and pensions have been much higher than other cities. Former Port Authority CEO/General Manager Paul Skoutelas was awarded a $380K exit package and $9K a month pension. Sure, it was eventually reduced, but the pattern clearly shows that Port Authority's priorities don't rest with the ridership. Now they are forced to make tough cuts. Cuts that hurt the people who need public transportation the most.
