Port Authority finances and rising expenses
Summary
The authority's finances are healthy — about $148,000 in cash and investments — but expenses jumped roughly 30 percent, driven by a 16 percent electric bill increase and rent now paid to a new marina owner. Full-year parks fund billing is keeping cash flow positive.
