8. Samson pleads guilty. Back in July, former Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Chairman David Samson pleaded guilty to using his position to coerce United Airlines into chartering a special flight from Newark Airport to an airport close to his second home in South Carolina, costing the airline over $900,000 in lost revenue. That flight ran from 2012 until days after Samson’s resignation in 2014. While Samson’s story may not have been the biggest story to come out of the Port Authority in 2016, it certainly did get the ball rolling on a tough year for the bi-state agency. Samson was an appointee of and close friend to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
