The Memphis Area Transit Authority won the Pork of the Year Award for 2025, squealing past a Nissan Stadium project that puts taxpayers on the hook for upgrades, according to a poll by the Beacon Center.
The transit authority spent money on a new downtown office and purchased a branded suite for Memphis Grizzlies' games at a hefty price tag, even though it was facing a $60 million deficit, according to a report from WREG.
