Rep. Barragán’s Statement on Harbor Commission vote to remove two Harbor area residents from its board.
I am concerned by the lack of local representation on the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners. Over the last 17 months, the number of board seats occupied by Los Angeles Harbor area residents has been cut from three to one. It is critical that commission deliberations and decisions include and reflect the concerns of the local communities that are most impacted by port operations. The communities of Wilmington and San Pedro are on the frontlines and directly impacted by port challenges including traffic, environmental pollution, public health issues, and a labor workforce adapting to a rapidly changing industry. Because the communities of the Los Angeles Harbor are disproportionately impacted by decisions to the ports, they deserve and should have a greater voice at the table with more than one seat on the board.
