FLOODED-OUT FLOODING SYMPOSIUM TO TRY AGAIN IN APRIL That January meeting of city officials, scientists, urban planners, business folks, engineers, conservationists, architects, and other flood-minded citizens — the one that was cancelled due to flash flooding — has now been rescheduled for April 5th. The symposium is still slated to take place at the George R. Brown Convention Center, and the same panelists appear to be on the docket. The event is free and open to all high water spectators, but you’ll need to register online by March 29th.  [Previously on Swamplot] Photo of flooding along Brays Bayou on April 17th, 2016: Chris Klesch
Someone ask our flood czar how his failed mayoral campaign was bankrolled by all the developers who elevate property and let neighborhoods flood – the same donors who ended up backing Turner. Then listen to the silence when you ask a follow up question on reforming the building codes to require on site water detention.
