Mr. Avallone,

I just read your opinion piece in the Forum and am very impressed with it. You are absolutely correct about temperament and preparation and being able to execute. It is a shame such immature, selfish and self-serving people keep getting elected to public office.

Thanks for all that you are doing!

Mr. Avallone,

I just read your piece in the 318 Forum. I know Patrick, and he did not deserve that type of treatment. There are many issues/ problems with Shreveport’s city government. The engineering team is not one of the major ones. They are all working under the constraints of past and current poor decisions by Shreveport’s governing body. I enjoyed your opinion piece. Have a great day.
