Ex-DWP Chief Elected Head of Harbor Panel
From Times Staff Reports
In a shake-up at the nation’s largest seaport, S. David Freeman, the former head of the city’s Department of Water and Power, was elected president Wednesday of the Board of Harbor Commissioners.
More than 250 people attended the meeting, the largest crowd at a board meeting in recent memory.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa chose Freeman and four other commissioners in late July. Former Mayor James K. Hahn’s five commission appointees have either resigned or were not reappointed.
