Hacks and Wonks Q&As prove the most valuable election reporting every damn time
I also went back and looked at Joy Hollingsworth’s answers to Hacks & Wonks Lightning Round questions about what she would or wouldn’t support in a SPOG contract:
![[00:05:58] Crystal Fincher: Do you oppose a SPOG contract that doesn't give the Office of Police Accountability and the Office of the Inspector General subpoena power?
[00:06:08] Joy Hollingsworth: Yes.
[00:06:10] Crystal Fincher: Do you oppose a SPOG contract that doesn't remove limitations as to how many of OPA's investigators must be sworn versus civilian?
[00:06:19] Joy Hollingsworth: Yes.
[00:06:20] Crystal Fincher: Do you oppose a SPOG contract that impedes the ability of the City to move police funding to public safety alternatives?
[00:06:29] Joy Hollingsworth: Maybe.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cf7f6n5ypoqzsxofbti645r6/bafkreif5g7hlgajxpe3elhbeayhlwukeuhczd2wnklhbyukvcbkjo4fszi@jpeg)

An all cuts budget is a good way for Ferguson to destroy what remains of his political support. Voters in 2024 and 2025 made it crystal clear they want to tax the rich to fund public services. I don’t get what’s hard about this.

Not that this is why they’re doing this or why it was offered, but to the extent Wilson owes her election to anyone, the top two candidates are probably McCoy and Estevenin
