The City of Los Angeles Harbor Dept. has hired Gephardt Group Government Affairs to handle environmental matters at the country's largest seaport.
The Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp. says "environmental remediation" is a challenge facing the port.
A May 13 LACED report says the "ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach can claim to be the greenest ports in the nation," according to Jack Kyser, the organization's economists. "Many of the solutions (including on-dock rail, use of low sulfur diesel and low-emission trucks and diesel locomotives) are being closely watched by other ports," he added.
Tom O'Donnell, former chief of staff to former Majority Leader and Democratic Presidential contender Gephardt, is handling the environmental work. He is assisted by Catherine Goode, who joined the firm from Quinn Gillespie & Assocs. this year.
The Port joins a blue-chip roster assembled by Gephardt. GE/NBC Universal, Visa Inc. and Anheuser-Busch are $30K a-month clients.
