The priorities of the Ford Government are all wrong - easy access to booze, funding limits to public services (education, health, social services), classifying planning/environmental regulations as 'red tape', etc. https://lnkd.in/gPJwxBYx

It is always interesting to testify before government bodies, whether they be State legislative committees in Frankfort, Jackson, or Baton Rouge, or City Council meetings here in New Orleans. As many times as I have done this, it is still nerve-wracking, despite the fact that I know the issues inside and out. But the hard part is communicating the key points in an impactful and efficient way. I know that what I say is not always heard, but it is always relevant to the discussion now and importantly, in the future. What was it today? Instead of summarizing, I will just post this New Orleans Times-Picayune/Advocate article by Tony McAuley - https://lnkd.in/gDj2Xm2F The interesting thing about this issue is the intersection of neighborhood zoning issues with public health. It also brings up issues of what values do we as citizens of New Orleans want our city to represent. Are we going to educate ourselves about the dangers of smoking and secondhand smoke as the leading cause of smoking related cancer and chronic disease. Do we pull ourselves up from 49th in state health rankings, or do we promote business interest over all else, even our own health.

So another piece of useful government successfully managed or a complete waste of time? Really is this what they are focussed on with all the issues in the world? How to make Britain more isolated from the world? Crazy times. I may cook and measure at home in imperial, but my children don't. We just need to move and standardise with the rest of the world. #goodgovernance https://lnkd.in/endzXPqc

DC Update: New Shutdown Showdown Congress is back, fighting again while a possible government shutdown looms in just a week. Last year was the least productive legislative session since 1931 (92 years), but this year is likely to break a new record, given the Congressional dysfunction exacerbated by the upcoming election. I hope to have some news to report in the future, but right now this is it. Sorry! Read more about our Policy Perspectives here: https://lnkd.in/e3YmakNQ

A word on CONFOUNDING. A confounding (“lurking”) variable is a variable that influences the dependent variable and independent variable, causing spurious associations. 👉 Rich (confounder!) people drink expensive vodka (an independent variable) 👉 Rich (confounder!) people live longer and healthier lives (the dependent variable) 👉 Vodka cost and life expectancy are correlated. 👉 Do people who drink expensive vodka live longer and healthier lives? 👉 (No.) Confounding cannot be discovered by elementary statistics alone. #statistics #correlation #spurious #confounding
