What the session covers

Your district, right now. What the city’s own systems say is happening in Washington Heights and Inwood today.
Grounded against ungrounded. The same question answered from the record and from an ordinary web search, side by side, so the difference is visible rather than asserted.
Your funding, from allocation to check. Discretionary money as it appears in the Council’s own disclosure, then as an actual disbursement in the Comptroller’s system.
An issue you are working on, sourced.

What it is honest about

Every number carries the date it was checked (most recently 2026-10-19) in the presenter notes. If a live call disagrees with a figure in the script, trust the live call and say so out loud — that is the demo working, not failing.

For staff running this: the deck needs no network. Arrow keys move, N opens presenter notes, G is a slide grid, F goes full screen.
