Why stop buying from China?A most favoured trading partner of US.Americans need jobs or China's vote or abstention in Security Council?Who decides it?Now the new slogan is:"Be American,buy Chinese products so that US can buy Chinnese support to endorse US sponsored resolutions".

Just wanted to comment on your perception that "Rick Ferrin" does it again. Being a government entity, Jaxport has to abide by a very rigid contract awarding process. Rick Ferrin has NO input into the contract awards process. Contracts are given through a committee not influenced by any other employee of the port. This system was diverted by the former Board Chairman, Tony Nelson (unbeknown to Rick), who, everyone knows, is now under federal indictment because of his diversion. Keep the facts straight, true, and complete. Thanks
