I read it. I know how long it takes. It's not that much of a read. I'm not saying it should be a TikTok grab your attention in 6 seconds and sell you a product format. But there is a better way to present the data without it being repetitive and artificially long.

Condensing something to make it easier to parse doesn't make the reader stupid, inattentive or make the text ineffective.

Rather than saying X paid Y for Z to happen like for line, tabulate it. Im not suggesting this to "pander" to the quick media consumption we have today but to make it more readable. The rest of the info (that isn't grant approvals) can go written as is and not be missed by people who skim read. (And I'd wager this info can be more important than grant approvals because it involves actual debated policy)

I disagree with his disagreement. I think the suggested format condenses the information and makes it easier to understand by cutting out the repetition. Plus, consider that reaching a far larger audience and informing them about city government (even if its in slightly less detail) is better than fully informing much less people.

Thanks for the insight, I've never been out of Mass so I wouldn't know, interesting to hear! Surprised about Pennsylvania though, what makes them the exception?

As conservatives love telling us, "if you don't like it, leave."

THIS. The north subsidizes the south. We are consistently net tax givers.

Interesting concept! There's a couple grammar issues like was -> were for plural but it was enjoyable

Did you have to throw darts to choose? I got one of these and I couldn't aim for shit

I enjoyed the ending and then you threw the cliffhanger curveball and you triggered my itch for more.

Love it!
