The high court said the state has sovereign authority to withdraw from the commission

The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled Tuesday allowing the state to exit the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor, an agency created in the 1950s to serve as a watchdog against the mob and corrupt labor practices at the port. New Jersey lawmakers called for an end of the commission citing a changing industry and less influence of organized crime.
