Morehead City Wilmington Port Clash Spurs Political Flap
A dispute over containerized shipping pits Morehead City waterfront officials against the State Ports Authority and engineers. Leaders Piner and Guthrie accuse Wilmington bias while Carteret County officials, including Thomas Bennett, press for answers before a April executive committee hearing in Goldsboro. Dredging plans and channel depths for Wilmington and Morehead City feature in the confrontation as Congress members weigh ports policy ahead of May primaries.
