We brought on school committee member Sue Mailman to discuss the new lawsuit against the Trump Administration. Worcester is a supporting character in the state-wide suit, led by Somerville and Easthampton. WPS, like districts across the state and country, stand to lose millions in funding as the Trump administration continues to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education. Statement from the school administration.

And we also touch on the police report Kathi Roy filed against her, for the crime of… asking a few good questions? Per the Telegram:

According to the police report, Roy alleges that Mailman approached her after the meeting and told her, "How do you feel about your party destroying my country?" and then, "How do you feel about the insurrection now?"

Hm. We the people of the Outdoor Cats Court hereby find Mailman guilty of being both right and cool. Additionally, we find Roy guilty of Snowflake Behavior. Given that Roy organized bus trips to Jan. 6 and remains an active member of the city’s Republican committee aaaaand voted against signing onto the lawsuit last Friday, these are good question!

You gotta watch the body camera footage. It’s a trip.

After Mailman, some quick updates on the senior tax work off story and the city’s new director of public health.
