Mention public authorities, also known as government corporations and special districts, to most people and you draw a blank stare. They know virtually nothing about an obscure but powerful fourth branch of government that affects our lives for better and worse. In Power, affluence, and assets, public authorities rival the largest state and local governments and commercial banks in the United States. This amount to a loss of the power of the purse and undermines the very constitution foundations of government.
