#235: Ask Us Anything!

Episode 235 of The Debrief takes a different approach with an 'Ask Us Anything' edition built around listener questions, comments, and reactions from recent episodes. Hosts Josh Durso and Jackie Augustine dig into Geneva’s property reassessments, the city’s move to a new meeting structure, and why nearly every Finger Lakes school budget passed despite growing frustration over taxes, state spending, and local costs. The conversation also zooms out to talk about New York’s increasingly criticized budget process, the long-term challenges facing Upstate communities, and the growing disconnect between voters and the people tasked with managing complicated local governments and public systems.
