Ever since the flash- flooding on August 5 when a summer rain drenched homes and business in New Orleanians, it’s been tempting to jump to conclusions and instantly name a culprit. But the fact is, competent investigations avoid that temptation and approach the challenge objectively.

That begins with making certain that the committee which selects the firm that will conduct the S& WB investigation has no stake in the results. The selection committee is composed of: Councilmember- At- Large Jason Williams, who also chairs the Utility Committee; Councilmember- At Large Stacy Head, who also chairs the Budget Committee; and,District C Councilmember Nadine Ramsey, who also chairs the Public Works Committee.

In addition, the selection committee has invited a representative of Levees. We look forward to reporting on these review meetings.
