Yes, indeed it is hard to understand what this jury was thinking. None of the persons in the Port Authority who allegedly made the bad decisions that led to the finding of negligence will have to pay, only the taxpayers.

The appellate court should toss this verdict as contrary to the weight of the evidence.
