Ricardo V. Taylor, Jr., Pennsauken Township committeeman and director of personnel for the Pennsauken Public Schools, was sworn in today as the Delaware River Port Authority’s newest New Jersey Commissioner. The swearing in took place at the start of the DRPA’s January Board Meeting at the Authority’s headquarters in Camden.
Taylor was appointed by Gov. Jon S. Corzine. The January board meeting, followed immediately by the February committee meetings, represents Taylor’s first official duties as a commissioner. He fills the vacancy left by Clara Ruvolo, who had served as a commissioner since 2001.
The Delaware River Port Authority of Pennsylvania and New Jersey is administered by a 16-member board of commissioners, eight from each state. They are appointed by their respective governors, except for the auditor-general and treasurer of Pennsylvania, who are ex-officio members. All commissioners serve without compensation.
