In the post‑pandemic news cycle, it became easy to treat charts as a kind of journalistic spell: visualize the data and legitimacy will follow. But the flood of partisan "stat dumps" has trained plenty of people to see numbers as just another weapon in a never-ending culture war. In 2026, the task for data journalism is not to make more extravagant visualizations, but to rebuild data as a shared language between people who no longer trust one another.

Our city is built on many strengths-excellent schools, beautiful green spaces, and a charming downtown-but the heart of Saratoga has always been its neighborhoods. As I begin my third term as mayor, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve this community, and I am continually reminded that Saratoga's true character reveals itself at the neighborhood level.

For him, sustainability is not an ethical question, but a business driver.

The answer appeared as an extension of Richard Gamble Memorial Park. This space is small, heavily used, and bisected by a train. Located at the heart of a small and bustling neighborhood, it was clear it could benefit from a little added breathing room. The Pop-up Town Square aims to provide just that. Modernizing Richard Gamble Memorial Park is critical, and the addition of a town square would provide flexible space for the community, and an added impetus to invest in the park.

I believe this sentence captures a paradox of the world we live in today. Many of us crave a sense of connection and purpose.

Cash said the new designs for the garden were unveiled at a Parks and Recreation Commission meeting in July 2024. After several meetings to receive community feedback, she added, the city had hoped to get the garden fully opened by March of this year but faced some delays.
