Melissa Alspaugh for Keith Carver
Why elect Keith Carver? He has a good rapport with staff, as he lives in the marina, and has already made efforts to form relationships with the new director and is very interested in learning more about the airport (which has been largely neglected over the years). He has owned his own successful business and has said that his door is always open, unlike his opposition. He is genuine, intelligent and absolutely capable of the leadership the Port deserves. He is a man that knows he can do better and wants to give back to his community and bring back transparency to the commission. Keith is largely supported by port staff and he sees the value in the high quality people that run the Port.
I feel that these are contentious times with the possibility of the Port acquiring Jensen’s Shipyard. Especially since it is my understanding that talks were going on in secret by the commission. I believe the public has the right to know what’s happening with their tax payer money, before negotiations, not after they’ve begun. Elect Keith Carver and bring back the transparency owed to the public. Get to know the non-politician and you will see his character and ambition are for the betterment of the Port.
