Port Authority Retirees Suing For Free Tolls And Damages

Thomas Westfield, a Morris County attorney who began practicing law after retiring from the Port Authority Police Department, has filed a class action suit against the Pork Authority seeking to reinstate free tolls and parking for retirees and $2000 per class member for as long as the benefits have been rescinded. There are at least 400 class members, according to a report at New Jersey Law Journal.

Westfield admits that the loss of benefits cost him no particular hardship, just the annonyance of having to pay tolls when going to an occasional Yankee game.  He also said he doesn’t know how often class members use the Hudson River crossings or park at the agency’s three airports.

Westfield, 65, has retired from the full time practice of law.
