This week, The Debrief turns the show over to listeners. Josh Durso and Jackie Augustine answer questions about data centers and housing, the bills putting pressure on Finger Lakes households, and what local officials can do when the biggest costs seem beyond their control.
They also examine rural food access, whether economic development incentives deliver good jobs, the maze of local planning agencies, declining school enrollment, and access to maternity care after Newark-Wayne Community Hospital’s birthing unit closed. The episode ends with a discussion of federal student loan changes and the potential effect on fields already facing staffing shortages.
