Heading to SPSA in beautiful San Juan. Let me know if there are any particularly interesting panels to check out

Every semester I end up going on a rant in my budgeting class about how using the debt ceiling and government shut downs are the worst possible ways to deal with deficits and government spending. I see now that I need to rant louder.

Water Policy = Health Policy

Also, the more polluted our ground water becomes the more expensive it is to clean. This increases the price of water.

The golden age of property tax assessment research is upon us. A new paper finds that assessors smooth property tax revenue by reassessing less aggressively during property value downturns. Also, they under-assess their own homes! www.nber.org/system/files...

Thanks to the Water and Health Advisory Council and the University of Wisconsin for putting together a workshop on the next 50 years of safe drinking water! It’s been fun talking about water financing issues

Public service is a noble calling, but we can't use that as cover for not taking care of public servants

My fellow Bush School professor, Eric Lewis, is on this paper too. They do some cool stuff with oil and gas drilling contracts. Check it out!

We're up early the morning after Thanksgiving to talk about climate change accounting, reporting, and accountability in government and non-profit organizations.

Thanks to the University of Essex for hosting!

Oh no, Elon is tweeting about things I actually write about. I hoped this day would never come

I'm still figuring it out over here, but has anyone made one of those starter packs for people doing cool water policy /management /finance stuff?

That cancelled TV show you'll never stop thinking about

Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea you aren’t working on but keep thinking about

1) Does fiscal health affect water utility response to drought?
2) Why climate financial risks priced in some industries but not all?

Most of the hot-takes on the Department of Government Efficiency are dunking on Elon, the name DOGE, that there are co-chairs, that it's not a real department, etc.

I support all of these; however, let's take a look at the federal budget anyway 🧵

As a UNT Alumni and current professor in Texas this is very sad to see. It really undercuts the reputation UNT has built over the years as an open and welcoming campus. It also sets a dangerous precedent for other public universities in Texas

I hear this is where the cool kids are hanging out now. Are we doing anything different over here?
