Gov. Cuomo Takes A Pass On Whether Port Authority Chairman Should Resign

KEN LOVETT
Gov. Cuomo took a pass when asked Monday morning if he believes the embattled chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey should step down.

Appearing on WNYC public radio's "The Brian Lehrer Show," Cuomo said the decision rests with the New Jersey governor, who appoints the Port Authority chairman.

Port Authority Chairman David Samson has been under fire since the bridgegate scandal broke. Elected officials and several newspapers have called on him to step down.

Cuomo wouldn't take the bait when asked about the newspaper opinions.
