I'm trying hard to find a way to respect the decision the Park Board made to over ride Mayor Rybak's veto. What I'm interested in knowing is whether or not the Park Board asked for a new finanical analysis after it was pointed out on the list by Mike Hohmann that their first report did not use a discount rate (that is, it didn't take into account the time value of money) which invalidates it. I mean, really! Analyzing for Present Value is elementary, without it all conclusions are invalid.
It's hard to respect decisions that are willfully made without data, or with data that is known to be suspect or downright inaccurate. I don't want to make any assumptions about this -- so please, Park Board members -- tell us if you did get an accurate analysis. And, if you did, would you please also tell us the assumptions used in making the analysis. That, too, can make all the difference.
