Saline left disappointed. Monroe fans celebrated as if the Trojans won the SEC championship.
What it was was a 0-0 tie.
Saline fell to 4-1-1 overall.
The Hornets started a little slow, but Saline turned up the pressure midway through the first half and controlled most of the rest of the game.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 49 and low of 30 degrees. Mist for the morning, partly cloudy for the afternoon, clear overnight.
I have to commend the Saline City manager and engineer for keeping their cool and for their professionalism during the three hour Mill Pond Dam town hall meeting.
I think what's insulting is that the city is bloating the numbers to bolster their case.
Logically, the dam has no practical use. Of course, it's going to cost more. Of course, there's a level of risk there. Of course, over some period of time, it's going to cost more to maintain than a stream.
Life cycle cost analysis is certainly appropriate when considering new assets, but it may not be as appropriate when evaluating existing assets.
