Legislators understand where the economic engine is.It also helps that the first $100 million was deployed cleanly—no waste, no drama—so the city walks back into the Capitol with real credibility.This year’s request focuses on building momentum:– Converting vacant downtown buildings into productive space– Upgrading the Belvedere and Convention Center corridor– Advancing LouMed– Improving the Waterfront Amphitheater– Building a modern regional first-responder training campus– Transforming Jefferson Memorial Forest into a meaningful outdoor destination– Expanding sports-tourism facilities that drive steady visitor trafficHousing is another major pillar.

Quote from @William Thompson: One thing I’ve noticed working with a lot of investors is this:People spend a ton of time researching markets, strategies, and financing…but almost no time building the habits that actually keep their portfolio healthy long-term.Here’s the simple truth:Your systems will make or break your growth.Not the market.Not the deal.Not even the interest rate.I’ve seen investors with average deals but great systems outperform people buying in the best markets with none.Things like:Keeping clean booksTracking expenses in real timeReviewing your numbers monthlyHaving a game plan before tax seasonThese aren’t exciting, but they’re the difference between “I think I made money” and “I know exactly what’s working.”Real estate is more forgiving than most businesses… but eventually, disorganization catches up.The investors who last are the ones who treat it like a business early — even when they only own one door.What’s one system or habit that’s helped you stay organized as your portfolio grows?
