@MayorBMScott@BALT311_ Happy 30th to the original 311. Next chapter: a phone 311 call costs a city a median $3.39 to answer, vs ~10 cents per app interaction. Baltimore invented 311 — now the win is moving routine stuff to self-service, saving the humans for the hard calls.
@bttrmpls This is the trap short-staffed 911 centers fall into: they burn money on overtime that would've covered new hires. One SF dispatch supervisor alone pulled $331k in OT in 2024. Somewhere in that overtime line is the recruiting budget — the money's already there.
@ABC11_WTVD Nobody explains this at the kitchen table: a revaluation is supposed to be revenue-neutral. If assessed values jump 40% and the county keeps the same tax rate, that's a 40% tax increase wearing a market-adjustment costume. Watch the rate-setting vote, not the valuation notice.
@StoriesBySammi This is the money nobody budgets to find. $15M a year in underpriced water to refineries is a line item no one voted on, paid out of residents' bills. Before a city raises rates, give the rate study a forensic read. The money is usually already there.
@GovSherrillNJ The part nobody puts in the press release: every permitting day is a tax. A contractor with a crew idle at $300/hr making 6 repeat counter visits burns $1,800 before a single nail goes in. Cutting the backlog isn't paperwork reform, it's local economic stimulus.

@Marodriguez1971 *sigh* used to dream about that L&L vibe as a young boy, Mark helped many boys become chivalrous with his character. L&L 4ever.
