Cuomo Taps Patrick Foye to Head Port Authority

Cuomo Taps Patrick Foye to Head Port Authority

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has nominated one of his top economic development aides to run the New York-New Jersey Port Authority.

Cuomo is recommending authority board approval of Patrick Foye to replace Executive Director Christopher Ward. Cuomo has been critical of the authority this year and a replacement was expected.

Cuomo confirmed this week an audit is under way into what may be questionable spending by the authority.

The authority didn't immediately release the salary of the executive director.

Ward was paid more than $304,000 last year.

Cuomo made the announcement Wednesday.
