The politics behind school funding always matter more than the ballot text. Appreciate the reporting — voters deserve to see the machinery.

Technically yes — call logs and response-time records are public records if the office keeps them. The fun part is watching them explain why tracking their own phone pickup rate is suddenly 'not a record.' File it and post the denial.

I should really read more about those men. (Relatedly: it says a lot that I’ve never seen them honored at Yom Kippur when we do the martyrology.)

Yeah, how you phrase the q matters. The prob of just 3 deaths is stat diff from the prob of just 1 (the historical avg). But calculating the prob of events >1 (vs. 1) is different math. I got curious bc when rates are small they can bounce & so when I saw the story guessed it was chance but no.
