Brandy Christian - President & CEO, Port of New Orleans

Brandy Christian - President & CEO, Port of New Orleans | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
From www.maritimeprofessional.com - November 30, 2017 2:40 PM
Brandy D. Christian serves as the President and CEO of the Port of New Orleans, a public agency that manages more than $60 million in revenues…
PIRatE Lab's insight:
Wow...only $60 million in revenue.  This is paltry compared to most of our major ports around the country.  In addition, it is noteworthy the Port of New Orleans seems to be doing very little to modernize/reduce their environmental impact.  Replace 35 trucks?  Really?

How overtime has made L.A.'s port pilots the city's best paid employees, averaging $450,000 a year

How overtime has made L.A.'s port pilots the city's best paid employees, averaging $450,000 a year | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
From www.latimes.com - July 25, 2016 10:46 PM
The small corps of mariners who guide ships in and out of the Port of Los Angeles are by far the best-paid city employees, averaging nearly $450,000 in salary
PIRatE Lab's insight:
Yet another example of the problems we can have when contracts are granted with little scrutiny or oversight.  

Even shifting the time of shifts could save millions per year.

Ports are key centers of trade and economic activity, but all too often are hampered by contracts and polices such as these which benefit a few rather than helping the greater populace and weighing down these important institutions.
