MassPort

Great comment by Dave below:

Just to clarify on the Massport/taxpayer issue that you commented on, interestingly enough, I found that Massport is not directly a state agency, but it was enabled by Mass. Legislature in 1959 as an independant public authority. It is not part of the state government although it's board members are appointed by the Governor. Massport recieve's no state funds as it is a revenue bond authority and it's monies are generated by these bonds and monies recieved from user fee's charged at thier facilities.So Massport does not rely on taxpayer funds. They're sufficient on the funds they recieve from facility use. Just an interesting sidenote, if you go on their website and look at the salaries for some of thier positions, you see that they apparently do very well. For example, ORH Crash Crew firefighter makes about 38,000 annually, Massport Firefighter makes 63,000 annually.
