but it’s still a Free Ride
Yea, trial by fire to be sure.
Note the date...
She was appointed last year...this happened on her watch...DEI.....
But no
Her "credentials" include:
Another Affirmative Action Political DEI Hack. See. Incompetence. Very good for The Democrat party, the removal of various monuments and such in Baltimore, but not so good for running a port.
She’s DEI..
She Didn’t Earn It.
So is she qualified for the job or is this part of DEI?

Anything here that would be useful to manage the operation of a major shipping port?
She been in office 7 months.
She hit all the right Democrat buttons along the way to her current appointment, none of which had anything to do with shipping, shipping companies, shipping ports or shipping operations in Baltimore or anywhere else. It’s clear she was hired to bring DEI HR into the Port of Baltimore.
She’s not there to manage.
She’s a stooge.
Hey she wrote a paper titled “ Boats & Shit” ! Is that e ough?
