Director of Agency Gets $175,000 Severance Deal
The leader of the agency that oversees Logan Airport--who is resigning after criticism over security following the Sept. 11 attacks--will get a severance package worth at least $175,000.
Massachusetts Port Authority Executive Director Virginia Buckingham, 36, will also get a two-year consulting contract worth $62,500. She had earned $150,000 a year.
Massport spokesman Jose Juves said the agency needs Buckingham’s expertise as it recovers from the attacks. The airport was the departure point for the two hijacked planes that brought down the World Trade Center towers.
Buckingham’s resignation takes effect Nov. 15.
