For the hundredth time, could that possibly be right?

Port Authority reporter Shawn Boburg doesn't seem to know much about the sources of the behemoth agency's revenue, judging from his front-page story in The Record today.

The lead paragraph notes "the public will bear an ongoing and significant financial burden for the multiple probes into the George Washington lane closure scandal" (A-1).

That gets all readers interested in the story on mounting legal bills, but not everyone supports the Port Authority, which relies on tolls, fares, rentals, aviation fees and other revenue.

The agency doesn't receive "public" tax money outside of the $1.8 billion left over after Governor Christie cancelled the Hudson River rail tunnels and hijacked those funds for road and bridge repairs.

The error is repeated in the sub-headline, which is reporting old news: "Public to pay tab in GWB inquiry."

Boburg also incorrectly reports the bistate agency is "supported largely by tolls on the Hudson River crossings," but that accounts for only half of the six agency operated bridges and tunnels, and ignores income from PATH fares, rentals, fees from four airports and other revenue.

In other news

Today's paper is unusual for three major obituaries on Page 1 (poet Maya Angelou) and the Local front (historian Katharine Auchincloss, formerly of Ridgewood; and Sister Mary Victor Waters, Tenafly's oldest resident).

Christie continues to make excuses about why he has failed to deliver federal Sandy aid -- five months before the superstorm's second anniversary (A-3).

Law & Order

Don't look for much local news today from the assignment desk of Deirdre Sykes and Dan Sforza, but fans of court and police news will find plenty to read (L-1, L-2, L-3 ad L-6).

A story on L-3 reports Paramus has added six police officers.

There's no word whether Westfield Garden State Plaza -- a major source of North Jersey Media Group's advertising revenue -- will be hiring any of them to beef up security at the mall, where two incidents in a six-month period panicked and endangered shoppers.

Rich get richer

On the first Business page today, Staff Writer Kathleen Lynn reports how "garden-apartment magnate Richard Kurtz" cut energy costs in half at two of his many apartment complexes, and plans to do the same at his other properties, a total of 14,000 apartments in the Northeast (L-8).

Kurtz also is hoping to get $49 million for a 30,000-square-foot, 12-bedroom mansion he had built in Alpine.

Lynn doesn't ask Kurtz whether he plans to pass along the energy savings to his thousands of tenants.
