Unlike the federal government, we have very strict rules for the appointment of lobbyists to agencies, boards, or jurisdictions. One of the things we wouldn't do is to appoint spokespeople for industry, who have nothing to do with the port, to the port authority. We'd seek to appoint people to the port authority who actually had something to do with running a port. Further to that, we'd make sure the work of the port authority was focused on the port.
