Bar Harbor needs an unbiased professional manager. Let's hope the interview process for Sutherland's replacement finds a person who represents the interests of the residents, not the cruise ship industry and developers.

Not likely. The MMA has connections with the Eaton Peabody Consultant Group. Andy Hamilton, Walsh’s lawyer for 30 years will be in the room where it happens. Same as with Knight and Sutherland. All under the direction of Angus King. He is in the top 20 in this country who takes cruise lobby donations.
