It’s mysterious. And there’s no data for three quarters after the pandemic. So this reporting/budgeting could be a relic of that disruption.

Debt service doubling in the middle of Zohran's term while he's dealing with a budget problem= bad? Does it make the Tax the Rich campaign easier to pitch to moderates if they know it'll pay for new prisons?

Seems like an ideological underpinning of today’s rightwing is that ruling class hierarchies are naturally true and good.
That’s why they have to take out wokeness, bc at its heart is the idea that hierarchies aren’t natural, they’re constructed and used to oppress.
People better get to know what OPEB liabilities are because woof is it gonna be hard for all kinds of local and state governments.

Forget theory. Broken windows practice!

16.02.2026 13:33 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0The thing that’s so cool about this podcast project is that Derek is addressing his neighbors across the ideological spectrum to untangle the specific budget crisis in their district and figure out what to do about it. There’s basically nothing else out there engaging with school finance like that.
