Tim is excited about the budget...for once.   Eli and Dr. Scallon use big words in their discussion of this year's budget.  

Tim does not like the MPA.  Eli makes some sense of the complicated issue of trans athletes competing in Maine.  

Eli and Tim bounce around a bunch of topics.  From parents behaving badly to Trump turning federal gov't on it's ear, to budget concerns.   Crazy times!

Tim is pissed in this one.  Eli makes his intelligent points.   Is this another case of the district throwing an educator under the bus?   What would you do if you were in Murph's position?

Eli eplains the 1% tax for paid family leave.  

Tim has questions about why we are not prosecuting drug users.  Eli, as always, applies logic to Tim's outrage.  

Eli and Tim respond to a passionate loyal listener who disagrees with the last episode.  Outstanding points and the response.  Also, Trump's cabinet is a ecclectic who's who in entertainment and outrage.  

A little on the presidential election and a lot on Portland politics.    With a clean sweep last week, the DSA is now in control of Portland's politics.

Dr. Ryan Scallon discusses the start of 2024-25 school year, $500k to fix mis-managed retirement money, school re-districting, high school consolidation update.   

Eli breaks down the voting once again.
