When the inevitable lawsuits seeking injunctive relief around arbitrary and capricious scoring (and thus illegal appropriation) of federal grant support, I'll point folks back to this post. In the end, if we do not hold officials accountable for their corrupt waste, fraud, and abuse, these problems will persist. The fact that many of the poorest, already-marginalized communities are the collateral damage from this ongoing train wreck (i.e., the opportunity costs of *not* receiving broadband continues to accrue every day) is an injustice perpetuated by specific individual decision-makers. A refusal to engage in even basic transparency around these decision-making processes should be a red flag to everyone who wants to see meaningful impact from public infrastructure investments. So yes, I'll continue to "rant" against the ongoing squandering of public funding, and the incompetency of leadership that is harming so many poor, rural, and minority communities. Since the 1990s we've been making the same mistakes again and again (starting interventions, then pulling funding; failure to independently evaluate the efficacy of specific programs and specific grant recipients; a lack of personal accountability for the programs administrators oversee; an accurate needs assessment and benchmarking of progress in ameliorating those needs) -- when we don't follow obvious best practices, we fail in our primary mission to bolster connectivity (and catch up with with rest of the highly industrialized world -- who are systematically outpacing America's laggard progress).

As cities brace for what's coming in the second Trump administration, it's a great opportunity to look at what's working, and what strategies can help cities protect their communities over the next 4 years. It was a pleasure to talk to KQED about a new report we helped produce at Public Rights Project with Kearney analyzing the success of the Oakland City Attorney's Office affirmative litigation model, and the results it has generated for city residents (468% return on investment?!). This is a proven model that cities across the country can replicate, and I'm excited to help them do it.
