Right - this so fits my own valley observations. I watched the MSB assembly reject then later reconsider and pass the last port plan this past spring. In the same meeting. The reason given at the time was that any plan was better than no plan. I later heard it was political pressure. 

It seems pretty far past time for boroughers to wake up and see the shadows of all the big dollar signs - port and more - they're on the legal hook to pay. With the borough assembly and administration setting them up for so much more.
