Transparency builds trust- and heaven knows these two bodies need more of that. Seems like a no brainer for council to ask for a line item receipt instead of a lump sum invoice
Not disagreeing with your take, but it did make me question how much my perspective as someone highly engaged with local politics could color my view
Zoom screen of many smiling faces of young people
Thank you to @vayd.bsky.social for phonebanking for @kirkmcpike.bsky.social and me this evening! Polls open in just 12 hours for the special general election for SD-39 and HD-5. Please make a plan to vote or return your absentee ballot if you haven't already!
Begins summoning ritual for an argument about the need to reduce parking minimums
As a new teacher facing virtual classes for the first time today, all I can say is oh my gosh, the teachers who made it through Covid are even greater saints than I thought
I would say, it’s a mixed bag from this reader. The brief has a lot of credibility for me because I trust the work you do, which could be diluted with more people on board. On the other hand, more resources could mean more in depth coverage- can’t expect one person to cover all meetings in Alx
Can’t wait to *squints at the lines* share a district with Williamsburg?
Terrified to have naturally had the thought ‘we needed this rain’
There’s no stronger dental office recommendation than seeing its where your local electeds go
I don’t begrudge anyone involved making these decisions, feels almost like a Gordian knot between the cost and the available funds 😓
It’s a data point I’ve forgotten from the redistricting process, but I believe the middle school enrollment is projected to top out in the next few years. Would a new middle school be feasible in that time frame?
When you get over 60% to make it so more than 8 people determine what the body and it fails
Thanks so much for the info! Can’t understate how valuable having this local reporting is
Out of curiosity, from your experience with these meetings do they typically have a mediator?
Very interested in your write up- just joined in to listen and seems like a lot has happened
Agree with commenter on verified identities. Easy to spew hate when you don’t have to own up to it
Outside looking in! Finished 8th, round three was killer
Kinda disappointed that you could have answered that question if you listened to the first five minutes of the movie
Tonight’s one! I might just have to dash over haha
Which trivia? It would probably be the first time I ever actually know a topic back to front haha

Definitely, though I’ve seen some argue that it has had much more viral break out potential because it’s not in theaters only
Enjoy the extended cut of your idol!
Thanks! I’m a big fan of shadows and odyssey and have always been curious how well they portrayed their historical periods
Intrigued lay person asking probably a silly question, but do you have any recommendations for assassins creed on this topic?
What it sounds like is mine!
Curious what ideas you’d have in terms of election reform? Is it staggered timing or something else?
Yeah… really really hard to understand why nominees, the easiest thing they could say no to, are still getting voted for
