PORTLAND – There’s another change at the top of the transportation administration in Maine’s largest city.

Portland International Jetport Director Jeff Schultes is stepping down to take a similar post at Bradley International Airport outside Hartford, Conn. Schultes has served 16 years as jetport manager and is credited with bringing low-cost carriers to Portland.

City Manager Joe Gray announced that assistant manager Paul Bradbury will take over as manager.

The change comes a month after Portland’s transportation manager, Jeff Monroe, was laid off. He and parks and recreation director Denise Clavet were among those who lost their jobs as Portland slashed its work force because of a budget crunch linked to the economic slowdown.
