They say that all politics is local. And yet, most people don’t pay attention to local elections. They are too busy, they don’t have time to research candidates, and they, quite frankly, don’t think it matters.
Friends, it matters. What happens in our community, the decisions made by people we elect to our City Council, to our port, have a much greater impact on our lives than what goes on in Washington, D.C.
Are we going to have a port that is an economic engine fueling a strong tax base, family wage jobs and a vibrant community, or are we going to restrict growth to turn our port into a park?
