The Port:Dump Conner? - Mitchum? - No Way In Hell!

About the only the thing the Port of Astoria has going right these days is the "Cruise Ship Business" and spin it any way you want, it is the "Brain Child" of Bruce Conner with Mitch Mitchum's help in coordinating the ground operations.

Conflict of Interest?

No way, as Bruce and Mitch are technically, in my view, acting as contractors, in the business of "Tourism" and should, indeed, profit from their services as opposed to adding a full-time staff burden to the port at the moment.

In the meantime and until a new Port Manger is selected and put to work, leave this procuctive facet of Port Operations alone.

Port wants to do something productive, take that Taggart "Albatross, turn it into a functional port administrative facility along with a Cruise Ship Terminal/Welcome Center and get rid of all that chain link fence crap out there and make it look like something other than some kind of "Marine Impound Yard"

Your don't think some of these Cruise Lines would consider some investment into "Our Port" to enhance their convenience while here?

Scrap that "Fish Porcessing Interpretive Center" (How many millions of dollars?) and put the money where it counts.

What exactly do Bruce and Mitch do? I'm not sure if that has been made clear yet.

For fear that I will not lay it out accurately I will defer that to them to explain.
