About half of local governments have a strategic plan. Fewer say theirs is very useful.

Our The State of Us recap covers 3 ingredients of plans that get used: data, stakeholder voice, and measurable action. https://t.co/D7Zztz4Cyy

A general chatbot can write about parks and rec.
It cannot tell you if satisfaction with your parks went up or down last year.

That is the difference between fluent and grounded. New on the blog: https://t.co/Dvx145v1Nu

Overall job satisfaction in #localgov ~87%.

But the same factors rate lowest on the National Employee Survey every year.

Residents are split on data centers. In a 2026 Reuters/Ipsos poll, 1 in 3 backed the fast pace of construction, most didn't want one nearby, and many still saw the jobs and tax revenue.

A packed hearing can't tell you what your whole community thinks.
