The Editor:

In your story last week, “Port hires PR firm to improve public image” by Grace McCarthy, published on August 22, it’s like the port is trying to out-trump Trump. Wow.

How about not spending public money on some vaguely-stated program of puffery, and cutting your sky-high moorage and hangar rates?

Don’t spend money trying to look good. Just be good.

Thank you. My invoice for a lot less than $100K for this good advice is in the mail.

The Editor:

This past week, the Democrats held their national convention. I hope you got a chance to watch. I came away with a new feeling of optimism I haven’t had for some time. Democrats are now smiling and shedding tears of joy, taking back the word “freedom.” Convention-goers held signs of support and love at the Chicago convention, thanking President Joe Biden for the remarkable job he’s done.

Thousands of Republicans, even those who worked in Trump’s White House are taking a refreshed look and supporting Democratic candidates, wanting to add their names to those who can happily look forward to our American future. Their Republican party has changed and abandoned them. And it has abandoned you.

The energy at the Democratic National Convention was palpable, electric and a form of renewable energy. Renewable on November 5! Join me in voting to bring a positive future for America, and shedding some tears of joy. Thanks for voting, we have a republic to save.
