Here’s some stuff that wasn’t “broke”:

• Airport security before 9/11
• BP procedures for supervising its contractors before the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
• Nuclear weapons security before a defector walked into our embassy with design information about the W-88.
• Mississippi levees and floodwalls before Katrina.

Get the idea? The Utilities Charter Amendment #2 is preventive maintenance.

Please don’t let cynicism and a false narrative about the council stop you from voting for clearly necessary preventive maintenance.

The smart thing to do is to fix the Charter before the problems occur.

I’m voting for Charter Amendment 2.
