New York State Thruway Authority is a Albany, NY-based company in the Government sector.
New Haven is governed via the mayor-council system. Connecticut municipalities (like those of neighboring states Massachusetts and Rhode Island) provide nearly all local services (such as fire and rescue, education, snow removal, etc.), as county government has been abolished since 1960. New Haven County merely refers to a grouping of towns and a judicial district, not a governmental entity. New Haven is a member of the South Central Connecticut Regional Council of Governments (SCRCOG), a regional agency created to facilitate coordination between area municipal governments and state and federal agencies, in the absence of county government. John DeStefano, Jr., the current mayor of New Haven, has served nine consecutive terms and was re-elected for a record tenth term in November 2011. Mayor DeStefano has focused his tenure on improving education and public safety, as well as on economic development. Notable initiatives include the Livable City Initiative, begun in 1996, which promotes home ownership and removes blight. In 1995, DeStefano launched a 15-year, $1.5 billion School Construction Program, already half finished, to replace or renovate every New Haven public school. In 2010 DeStefano began the ambitious job of undertaking school reform efforts - which led to the NY Times referring to New Haven as "ground zero" for school reform.
