    $10.2 million dollars for grant money as PART of the replacement cost of 400 trucks. What kind of trucks are those 400 going to be (other than d _ _ _ expensive? We will never see an exact accounting of how that money was spent.

    Because the movers and shakers aren't welcome, and wouldn't live in the uncivilized sticks anyway.

    It is kind of nice really.

    PSA is Singapore owners.APM or Maersk is Danisch.DP World is UAE.But if go deeper and see who owns shares in those compagnies you will find that they are international.

    DP World is owned by the United Arab Emirates. That's why there was so much controversy when Bush was pushing to turn the ports over to them in 06. Not like it matters, there's no reason anyone but a US owned company should be operating our ports.
