We believe in a Hudson that is more:
Apolitical:Â Government decisions should be based on evidence and public interest, not party loyalty or personalities. Yanks might call this non-partisan.
See our brief post defining “Apolitical” and related but distinct American political terms.
Efficient:Â City services must deliver the greatest benefit with the least waste of taxpayer money, time, and opportunity.
Equal:Â Every resident deserves the same rights, protections, and access to opportunity.
We leverage:
Commentary: We write (Editorials) and commission or accept (Guest Op-Eds); sharp opinion on issues that matter.
Critique: We challenge avoidable failures and satirize hypocrisy in The Shallot (inspired by The Onion).
Courts: When persuasion fails, we pursue (or support) litigation to protect residents’ rights and ensure equality.

Hudson (circa 2024-2025) runs on hypocrisy, dressing self‑interest as virtue. Housing is treated as blood sport. City Hall runs theatre instead of government, rewarding insiders and punishing outsiders. Tax codes protect patronage. Local myths thrive while facts are ignored. Bad nonprofits harvest grief for grants. The rich pay, the poor collect, and the middle class is forced out and forgotten.
