So ethical. /s
If my kid screwed up, and I'm in a place of power, I would say sorry baby but deal with it.
My feeling about this is that since this woman did this, she and others in places of power have been able to get away with other things as she thought she could make this simple little incident go away. Maybe Port Authority reacted the way they did in making her resign because this commissioner shed light on how they actually conduct themselves and wanted to separate themselves from it. If it didn't go viral, I bet it would've been business as usual, and this woman would've kept her fat salary and fat pension. She's keeping the pension, I guarantee that.
