There have been reports on how LIHTC basically reaches a total number of units that it can fund year over year so most new units basically just replace some that have exited. Its an incomplete answer w/out more $$. What early exists though?

sorry let me get this clear. It took two weeks for ANYONE from the state to come with *debris clean up* after a deadly tornado but 400 people protest and we get the full brigade?

After DEI Fight With Legislature, University Of Wyoming Launches Image Makeover After a very public and contentious DEI fight with the state Legislature, the University of Wyoming is launching an image makeover. They say their new…

WY has the highest percentage of MAGA folks in legislature. They're now demanding more direct control over U of W, its hiring, priorities and departments and a ban on DEI. The conversation also includes a failed plan to interrogate all foreign staff and students

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Quakers sue to keep US immigration agents out of houses of worship Quaker groups sued on Monday to prevent U.S. immigration agents from carrying arrests and searches in houses of worship, after the Trump Administration rescinded guidance that protected churches and schools from his mass deportation campaign.

Warms my heart that the community I grew up in (BYM) is standing in their values

Arrested by AI - The Washington Post Confident in AI-generated results, some police departments are using facial recognition technology to help solve crimes. But how reliable is that software, and what happens when it’s wrong?

Washington Post also did a report on the use of AI in matching surveillance photos with mugshots leading to many false arrests. They highlighted St Louis specifically www.washingtonpost.com/podcasts/pos...
