Arlo Haskell

[5][2] In 2017, Haskell authored and published his first work of nonfiction, The Jews of Key West: Smugglers, Cigar Makers, and Revolutionaries (1823–1969) (Sand Paper Press).

[17] Another Sand Paper title, Harry Mathews's The New Tourism (2010), was co-edited by Haskell and selected as a "Book of the Year" by The Times Literary Supplement.

[26] Key West's voters approved the amendments by wide margins on November 3, 2020, resulting in limits on the size of cruise ships that may call and the number of persons that may disembark each day.

[27] Haskell was the committee's primary spokesman during the political campaign, in which the cruise industry secretly financed a dark money group that lobbied against the measures using fearmongering and disinformation tactics.

[31][32][33] Since their passage, the charter amendments have been cited as an inspiration by others seeking to regulate cruise ships in places including Bar Harbor, Maine, the Cayman Islands, and Juneau, Alaska.
