Journal photo by Natalie Johnson Outgoing Port of Shelton Commissioner Jack Miles sat at his last commission meeting Tuesday and objected to having Dick Taylor sworn inon the same day. Port commissioner's swearing-in delayed until after new year By NATALIE JOHNSON The Port of Shelton com- mission planned to swear in its newest commis- sioner, Dick Taylor, dur- ing its last meeting of 2011 on Tuesday, but its plans changed after last-minute complaints from outgoing Commissioner Jack Miles, said Commission Chair Jay Hupp.i Hupp said Taylor asked to be sworn in during the meeting, so as to be ready for the first meeting of 2012 on Tuesday, Jan. 3. How- ever, he later called Hupp to cancel, saying he didn't want to be a part of "con- troversy" expected at the meeting. Miles told the Journal that he told the other com- missioners via email that he felt swearing in Taylor while Miles was still a com- missioner would be "inap- propriate." "I felt it was my day," Miles said. Taylor, however, said Mason County staff told him that being sworn in during the Port's last meet- ing of the year was com- pletely appropriate and ex- pected. Taylor said he received an email from Miles saying that he should "be prepared for a fight tomorrow." In order to avoid such a fight, Taylor didn't attend the meeting. Taylor will be sworn in as a port commissioner on Tuesday, Dec. 27 in Amber Finlay's courtroom at the Mason County Courthouse. "I didn't want controver- sy," Taylor said. "I'm trying to rebuild things." At his last Port of Shel- ton meeting as a commis- sioner, Miles took the op- portunity to make a final statement. "I certainly learned a lot," he said. "I'm going to take that forward with my future endeavors." Conley Watson present- ed Miles with a card signed by some of his constitu- ents, thanking him for his years of service at the port. "I want to thank you for your service to the Port of Shelton these last six years," Hupp added• • has a, 3ig list help a] making' First Friday's Christmas TreeLighting and the Christmas 1~ a~.resounding success. ; Shelton Kiwanis, the Shelton-Mason County Chamber of Hiawatha, Comcast, Hood Canal Communications and the City ~of Shelton for making our town shine brightly for the holiday season.
