A slate of pop-music legends, Broadway A-listers and national touring musicals are just part of the 2018-19 season at the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown. Following its previously-announced slate of summer programming, MPAC unveiled its 2018-19 season, which officially kicks off on Sept. 14 with a performance by stage, screen and TV star Vanessa Williams. Newcomers to the 1,200-seat theater include Celtic Woman, the Piano Guys and Rock Hall of Fame inductee Linda Ronstadt. Ronstadt is retired from singing due to medical reasons, but will offer a night of conversation to her longtime fans. “Our season represents the best in the performing arts,” said MPAC President and CEO Allison Larena. “Each year presents a challenge to top what we did the year before.” Other Rock Hall members coming to Morristown include Brian Wilson, the genius behind the Beach Boys, who will offer his “Pet Sounds: The Final Performances” on July 19. Motown legends the Temptations and the Four Tops arrive on Oct. 27, while Chicago alumnus and solo hitmaker Peter Cetera plays on Aug. 2.

NJ Transit’s executive director is being paid $19,000 more than his predecessor, reflecting his difficult task of turning around the troubled agency and bringing him more in line with his peers in the region, according to publicly available state salary data. Kevin Corbett, who was appointed to the job in February by Gov. Phil Murphy, has a salary of $280,000 a year. His predecessor, Steven Santoro, was paid $261,000 a year. The agency confirmed that Corbett is the highest-paid executive at NJ Transit. Corbett’s salary is slightly higher than that of his counterpart at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Rick Cotton makes $275,000 a year as executive director of the bi-state agency, according to its salary database. Corbett makes significantly more than the state transportation commissioner, Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti, whose salary is $141,000. He even makes more than Murphy, whose annual salary is $175,000. Corbett came to NJ Transit from AECOM, a global infrastructure services firm. “Strong leadership is a critical component to rebuilding the agency and making sure that commuters feel confident in the transportation they take to and from work every day,” said Dan Bryan, a Murphy spokesman. “Kevin Corbett has a vast wealth of transportation and infrastructure knowledge that the agency desperately needs.” Bryan wouldn’t say whether the higher salary was offered to Corbett so he would accept the job. Low salaries were frequently cited as a reason why See NJ TRANSIT, Page 2B

NJ Transit struggled to recruit and retain top talent in recent years. Two years ago, William Crosbie, a former Amtrak official, was appointed executive director, only to change his mind and back away. The previous executive director, Ronnie Hakim, left NJ Transit to work for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in New York. Santoro, then the agency’s assistant executive director of capital programs and planning, took the job instead, serving for 16 months until Corbett’s appointment. Before he took office, Murphy described NJ Transit as a “national disgrace.” An investigation last year by The Record and NorthJersey.com found that the

agency was bleeding staff. A quarter of supervisors in the rail division left the agency from early 2014 to mid-2016, according to internal documents, draining NJ Transit of institutional knowledge and experience. At the same time, NJ Transit’s service quality deteriorated as equipment broke down and the agency didn’t hire enough new people to operate its trains and buses. Federal regulators found recurring problems with the agency’s safety compliance. In September 2016, a commuter train crashed into Hoboken Terminal, killing a woman and injuring 110 other people. Meanwhile, a number of allies of former Gov. Chris Christie received promotions and pay increases at the agency, in some cases bumping more experienced individuals. In one of his first acts as governor, Murphy in January ordered an audit of the agency, including its hiring practices.
