I have an extensive background in financial modeling. I know and understand how modeling works. You never run just one model. At a minimum you do at least 3, best case, worst case, and most likely.
I used to run several more so I could do a sensitivity analysis on the marginal effects of various assumptions used in the model. Back in the old days we used the acronym GIGO – garbage in garbage out – to highlight the futility of bad assumptions.
Our engineer used one run of the model for the restrictor. I would call his assumptions a best case scenario. No flooding in Brays Bayou or Poor farm Ditch when the College St flood basin is flooding. At the City Council meeting on April 25th our engineer said that this was not good practice and we should do more.
Yet Steven Segal cut him off before he could explain how we could get better information.
It perplexes me that I am the only candidate to oppose spending money to remove the restrictor. This is a somewhat complicated issue and I have laid out the facts.
The other candidates refuse to address what I say. I am trusting that you, the voter, will vote for me so that there will be at least one council member not following the pack.
