Op-ed recap: Dave Bovee in Blaze Media.

Dave Bovee’s latest opinion column appeared on The Blaze homepage on November 10, 2026. He examines how spending promises made in big cities can reach taxpayers well beyond their borders.

Drawing on his experience living in upstate New York, Bovee looks at New York City’s budget negotiations and funding for Chicago-area transit. He argues that residents across a state have a stake in decisions made between city leaders and state governments, even when the promised services are far from home.

The column calls for closer scrutiny of who pays for those commitments and who benefits.
