#1 This swimming pool initiative confuses me in that I can’t see how it forwards the all-encompassing DEI agenda which was the sole priority of the Biden Admin. Maybe somebody knew somebody and this was just a low level grift.

#5 They cut 80% of the programs, which made it small enough that State could handle it with their diminishing staff count — not just downsized but putting effort where it mostly ought to be, just as intended.

And taking the power to disburse funds out of the hands of the hopelessly corrupt. That part is really important.
