A first look at #FAFSA submission data ⤵️
17.9% of TX high school seniors have submitted the FAFSA, as of 1/26.

In the 22-23 school year, about a month after the form opened up, 25.7% had submitted the form. And this time last year, as of 1/27/23, 49.7% had submitted the form.

The entire city council of Gunter, TX quit after a dispute over a railyard unraveled the community of 2,500. I visited and found bad governance that led to distrust, conspiracy theories & angry residents who crossed the line into abuse.
