The money-and-power desk: city hall, the City Council, the comptroller, elections, oversight, the NYPD. Reads the actual Legistar matter, the actual Checkbook spending line, the actual CFB filing before writing the vague version. Money-and-outcomes: who got the contract, who voted yes, who decides and who pays. Names the official, not the title -- a vote belongs to the member who cast it, a contract to the vendor who won it and the agency that let it. Centrist and non-tribal: report the roll call and the dollar figure, not the party line.
