Diversity is our strength®
She must be a radical leftist because if she was a conservative the title would have been “another port commissioner has been appointed…in other news”…
easy peasy for a d.e.i. hire
the cause was...
systemic racism of the ship
systemic racism of the bridge
systemic racism of the captain
systemic racism of the harbor master
systemic racism of the harbor pilots
. systemic racism of the sea systemic racism of capitalism in other words cuz... systemic racism.
Sounds like a Post Turtle . How did it get up there ?
Makes you wonder who else applied for the job ? Sounds like she should be in the PR or worse , the HR department, not running the joint.
Where was the tugboat that should have towed the ship in?
She’s an overpaid DEI clown, but you cannot blame this ship/bridge collision on her. DEI means black people gettin paid! Big bucks (at least $100000 year) for doing nothing useful.
As Trump will say, “It’s a scam”
Unless she instituted procedural or policy changes during her 7-month tenure, it’s unclear she had anything to do with this accident. Some of these jobs are no-show appointments dished out to political hacks, where the real power lies with the permanent bureaucracy.
And just what are those degrees in?!
Not one thing that would qualify her for Port Authority job.
Well, well, well. DEI appointment. Lots of FReepers scolded those who brought up the possibility of incompetent DEI hires affecting the issue. People DYING due to DEI hiring really is a thing and it’s going to get WORSE before it gets better.
Is she qualified? Tired of “first blah blah.”
we do not need no da** teachers running remember...those that can’t ...teach!
Your port commissioner...
DEI bump for later.....
She specializes in filing EEOC complaints.
Kinda cute… can she do structural engineering?
Well you’re going to need a bunch of old way cranes and barges to deal with this wreckage, so sit down and stay out of the way.
She looks like she escaped from one of those “ Real House Wives of … tv shows that the NY Post and Daily Mail promote.
I am not sure she knows how a shovel works, Put her in charge of the port, that’s the ticket.
“Some of these jobs are no-show appointments dished out to political hacks, where the real power lies with the permanent bureaucracy.”
Similar to the presidency and the congress?
Another unqualified DEI appointment.
How about the old stand by, underwater basket weaving?
