TRENTON — Lawmakers in New York and New Jersey are pushing legislation that would give the governors of both states the authority to block actions by the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor, a six-decade old, bi-state agency charged with rooting out corruption at the ports.
The proposal marks the latest attempt to wipe away tough regulations the commission has imposed on the maritime shipping industry in both states and comes less than two years after New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie vetoed a bill that sought to abolish the organization entirely.
