John:

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) has already allocated funds to
counties across America which can be used to invest in broadband
infrastructure, public facilities, and investments in housing and
neighborhoods.

But for apparent personal and/or political reasons, many
Republican-controlled counties are withholding the funds - even removing
them completely from the public eye by partitioning the money off from
the official budget.

Money to span the digital divide, award grants to local small businesses
and upgrade the local hospital may right now be purposely withheld by
your county officials to the detriment of your community.

The need to elect transparent and ethical county commissioners could not
be more apparent.

ROCC partners are compiling a toolkit for county commissioners to push
for full application of ARPA funds in their communities while also
publishing a companion toolkit for activists to investigate and
spotlight what is being done in their own counties with these funds.

It is our job to hold our local officials accountable, while guiding the
public in understanding the function of their government to empower them
to make change!
