Not state-owned

To the editor:

I would like to correct a statement in your latest newspaper dated February 2005 about the Port of Eastport. We are not a state-owned port as stated in your report. We are a quasi-municipal organization. The port of Eastport is controlled by the Port Authority, which is made up of elected citizens and appointed members from the city and one representative from the state.

John E. Sullivan, Port Director
