Get rid of all these authorities - we don't need political appointee - make work-reward jobs here any more.

These are authorities, btw, not "government." Get your terms straight.First of all, an authority is: A public agency or corporation with administrative powers in a specified fieldAlso, if you actually read the article instead of having a knee-jerk reaction to the excerpt presented here, you wouldn't make such ignorant statements.

The biggest problem with most "authorities" is that they are generally top heavy wit management as compared to oa private corporation.

So you're telling me I'm wrong? And that authorities are actually government agencies.
Okay, thanks for the opinion. You fail.

If good portions of its budget come from the City, the state, and taxpayers, I would say it's a government agency.

You are wrong. First of all, read the article, and you will see it is about all government employees, including those working at authorities.

Everyone who insists an authority is a government agency fails. Return to fifth grade civics class.
