I feel like the act of typing out "No one dares say" should prompt a little popup box asking if you are sure you want to do that?
Like this seems like the downward path to exclaiming oneself a "heterodox thinker".

We were all present when he beat Lamb. Lamb lost to Fetterman. That's on Lamb's (and campaign) ability to convince voters to support him.

I'd also at least try to note at least some of the other govt admins and political campaigns doing this, if not actually directly paying for play.
Im honestly shocked at this piece - like its not even hiding the slant in coverage.

No its not. Like it or not, significant infrastructure investment planning is almost always involves counties wooing investors with hefty savings via tax savings of one sort or another.
Which is the thing you keep harping on about as a benefit of DCs.

They. Are. Not. Using. DC taxbase. To. Do. This.
Literally look at any of these deals, and its almost a guarantee there is some sort of tax abatement or outright waivers. Sure, it sounds neat! More tax base, great!
They arent doing that.

"Heavy tax revenue"
*Laughs in San Francisco*
This is why this makes no sense. While each DC and county are different, this same dynamic is usually in play.

They apparently gave the data boys a 90% tax abatement for this. So John was flying pretty close to the sun, I think.

I think you mean well, but this is really not clarifying anything, and is by omission (unintentionally) eliding the terms history and use, which is a significant issue. There is a reason you are seeing such strong pushback from Cottle when Bouie attempts to situate the term.

The point of this seems to be to elide the specific point at hand, which is the term Woke and its definition, use, and etymology.

I did not say Black people are frustrated. You are assigning sentiments to me that I am not expressing.
The state of current affairs as described here are neither here nor there to the term "Woke".

I mean, it does still mean what it used to for the group that coined it.
This is a core tension underlying many such instances of co-opting language (not itself a bad thing), and refusing to recognize the deeper meanings therein suppressed (a bad thing).

"I think they’re both wrong"
I think you need to reassess what you said here, what Bouie is quoted saying.
Co-opting language does not remove it from the context of its creation.
