A Few Thoughts to Consider (again!)

• Accountability is not going away.
• LBB Performance Measures
• THECB AM System Accountability Measures
• Federal and State Government laws and
  regulations
• We cannot be all things to all people.
• Are we trying to do too much with too little?
• What are the alternatives?
• There are no prizes for predicting rain -- only
  for building arks. (NOAH Principle)
• There are no rewards for promises only for
  successful outcomes.
• Past performance is the best predictor of future
  results.
