๐ฑโ๐ฟโ๐ฒโ๐๏ธThe best predictors earn the title Oracle of Paonia. The worst? Town Administrator Material. ๐
Paonia's town government operates a $16M budget funded mostly by grants and loans. The Town Administrator was fired from his last job for โflagrant neglect of duty.โ An elected trustee was expelled for asking questions. Tree Board volunteers were told they're a burden. The surveillance cameras cost more than the tree budget ($52K vs $0).
We think residents can predict their government's behavior better than the government can explain it.
Prove us right.
