I just don't see why these other options were explored by UCF (or at least give us that info on what "alternatives" were looked at) or Rick Scott's decision when there were many other perfectly good options for him that did not require adversely affecting a University's event and the peanuts they make from their event.

Nobody thinks you are a bad human being. But you don't seem to take incoming very well. E.g., I noted in my last post that Aresco affirmed that other options were looked at but that nothing viable was found.

I'm not sure why that's not good enough for you? Do you really think Aresco and UCF didn't consider the Citrus Bowl?

As for Governor Scott's decision, do you really think the governor owes an explanation to football fans as to why the stadium was the best place to base the National Guard?

Seriously?

Yes he does, you are assuming a lot. The government in all its forms has proven to be incompetent from time to time. While the football game is not a priority, the questions should be asked and answered. It is quite possible that he chose ucf's because it was the first one he thought of, not because it worked best.

The questions are legit. The ansers should be too. If the answers arent legit then it should be gone over to see what mistakes were made and what could be done better. A football game is a little thing, being organized and gettinh the best out of your resources durring a natural disastor is a big thing.

Answering questions pertaining to canceled football is unlikely to tease out inefficiencies in how national guard resources are being deployed. And so far, OTown and others have only expressed concern about football.

Usually, that kind of useful feedback is derived when the logistics employed fail to meet the needs of those in distress efficiently and effectively.

Failure to meet needs of hurricane victims give rise to legit questions about resource use, those about football are a waste of time. If putting the national guard in UCF stadium is hindering their mission, we will know it without answering questions about canceling the Tech game.

No efficiancy is reviewed all the time. If i spend 30 million and could have done it for 20 million then we need to know that for the next instance.

It is reasonable to ask why certian choices were made when other options are available.

A home game is a financial boon for the home team and its community. If there was not a valid reason to choose the ucf stadium over the citrus bowl then its an issue. People play politics at terrible times, sometimes they're incompetent, sometimes they just make dumb mistakes.

The questions should be asked and answered. We may disagree with the purppse of the question but the answer will work for both purposes and both are legit reasons for inquiries, allthough only one is truely important.
