A. Hodge Port Quotations

I was very hands-on with the Ports Authority because we had a lot of issues with them, ... Our big issues were funding of the new bridge in Charleston, whether to expand in Charleston. Port issues were front and center during our administration.

When I signed the letter, I told them as I believe then as I do now that a port belongs in Jasper, and if they did not move forward with some facility in Jasper County, the people of Jasper should be able to do it,

The interest (in South Carolina ports) is from Jasper, the port community and the people of Georgia, ... It's not that important to the people of South Carolina across the board. That's probably why you see (Sanford) less engaged.
