In Indianapolis, a grand jury is asking where the money behind Indiana's 2025 legalization push came from and whether the disclosures told the truth. In Boston, the state just cleared a billion dollars in sales for the year, the same market a November ballot question wants gone. In Iowa, a candidate for lieutenant governor made the case for regulation while standing inside the recovery center that treated his own child. And federally, the quieter costs are turning up away from the headlines: a Caribbean authority trying to line up banks before its market opens, and a new round of DEA inspections landing on the operators who just won federal recognition.

The Hours You Can't See Are The Ones Costing You
Ask an agency owner what her partner's utilization is and she'll tell you it looks terrible - because he's never logged a non-billable hour in his life, while doing enormous real work for the business. Every agency has this person. Their time is invisible, so the numbers built on top of it are fiction. Timeglass captures billable and non-billable alike, automatically, with no one deciding what's worth writing down. You finally see the whole shape of the week. Start free.
