THE BRIEFING PROJECT
EPISODE 5  WHAT WENT WRONG, PART II

Thank you. I'm Steve Edmiston. I'm here to continue the brieng you asked
for but did not receive last year on NextGen and increased community overights 
in 43 minutes, two minutes at a time.

In my last segment, I addressed what actually went wrong last year with the
first two topics in the Port staffs noise briefing: the increased noise complaints and
the 260 additional flights over our homes each day.

But the next thing that went wrong was unexpected.

Instead of logically moving to what those numbers might actually mean as far
as the human species  for example, maybe place them in the context of the
Athens, Greece study that had just concluded long-term exposure to aircraft noise,
especially at night, is associated with hypertension and cardiovascular effects that
can lead to heart attack and stroke, and that each nighttime 10 decibel increase
associates with a 2.6 times greater risk for high blood pressure  instead of that,
what happened just 3 minutes and 57 seconds into the noise brieng is your Director
of Aviation Environmental Services dropped the topic of aircraft noise  and inserted
what is essentially a subliminal ad, like single frame of a coke and popcorn buried in
a movie reel. The briefing was stopped to remind you of $16.3 billion in business

revenues associated with SeaTac. As if you went a full four minutes, you might
forget this fun fact.

The economic benefit pivot reflects a relentless trend we see from Port  at
some point all discussions of harm to the environment are inevitably placed within a
frame that the dollars must flow from airport operations, like spice on Arrakis. Here,
it took less than four minutes. This is not harmless. As you know, the Port exercised
its influence over the new Mitigation Study, deleting quality of life and crime. But it
also added a new section. Yes. An economic impacts study of SeaTac. That
appears identical to the Port's just completed 2018 SeaTac Economic Impacts
Study. It hurts the brain - the Port seems to be taking scarce dollars from the cities
to repeat an economic study it just completed.

No one is disputing the economic wonderment that is SeaTac. But the pivot,
less than four minutes in, comes off as a bad Jedi mind trick  "you don't need to
look at noise or emissions, they aren't the economic benefits you're looking for."

Thank you for giving a citizen two-minutes to comment.
