Excerpts from a Paul Nussbaum story at the Philadelphia Inquirer:
An expanded code of ethics written in 2003 for the Delaware River Port Authority, but never implemented, could have saved the DRPA from much of the trouble it's now in, DRPA board member John Dougherty said in a letter to the agency's chief.
Criticism of the agency continued to mount Monday, as Pennsylvania Auditor General Jack Wagner said he "will be asking for a change in leadership at the DRPA" if significant improvements are not made quickly.
Wagner is a Pennsylvania member of the bistate agency's 16-member board who, along with Dougherty and Pennsylvania State Treasurer Robert McCord, has been among the chief DRPA critics. Govs. Christie and Rendell also have called for policy changes, which DRPA Chairman John Estey said last week would be voted on at an Aug. 18 board meeting. . . .
