Bradley Airport Authority?

An article in HartfordBusiness.com discusses governor-elect Malloy’s proposal to create an independent authority to administer Bradley Airport. It quotes Tim Bannon, Malloy’s chief of staff as stating that “early action on this will be important to send a message that Connecticut is committed to economic growth.” Among the issues yet to be decided are whether the (1) authority would have jurisdiction over the state’s seaports and (2) changes will be incremental or all at once. The airport currently operates on a budget of $55 million that comes exclusively from the Bradley Enterprise Fund.
