Watching the debate for Port Authority position #4 on seattle channel - Tom Albro vs. Max Vekich
Albro - engineer small business owner vs. Vekich - career politician labor guy longshoreman
vekich is full of platitudes, smug, and i coming off really badly
pretty good questions - e.g. merge port of seattle and port of tacoma?
good questioning of financial funding - max vekich is funded almost solely by labor
actually getting testy and good
reading a bit more ... i'd vote Albro
Now watching the Port Authority #3 debate: Rob Holland vs David Doud
intros - both are coming off as not that bright and sleazy
holland - sales labor guy vs. doud - real estate, international investor, business and mayoral candidate
creating jobs is the dominant topic this time - very protectionist
merger question is a key differentiator - holland is against merger
questioning holland's huge union support - he ducks it
can we just take both the guys running for position #4?
refusing to merge the ports kills holland for me. tacoma is going to spend $1B to steal business from seattle. doesn't seem smart from a regional competitiveness standpoint.
