He been a great asset to the Port of Miami. If he were to get the job at the Beacon Council, I think he would do a great job there, too.” Johnson’s deputy, Juan Kuryla, had been set to take the top job at the Jacksonville port this month, but decided to stay after Johnson publicly expressed interest in the Beacon Council post.
