A brief thread: The latest episode of @USCCLEAR was truly energizing for those of us who research and study procurement, contracting, collaborative governance, networks, relationships, and regional solutions. Though it often feels that we are on the periphery of "core" public

The level of restraint and sheer competence is astounding.

A @USC study by @billresh, @thaivle, and @BarbozaWilkes found burnout was "...a leading reason why local governments are struggling to keep workers." @Forbes featured the research in an article that provides solutions to help combat burnout. | @brtherapist ow.ly/7nZn50KaUMf

Reluctantly I now believe that DOJ should bring an indictment against Trump for his criminal actions directing an attempt to violently overthrow a legitimate election and seize office in violation of the Constitution. There will be violence sadly.

Party identification and mobilization are diminishing. Local journalism holds local and regional governments accountable. Mobilization around establishing local public journalism can establish independent journalism thru taxpayer-funded special district governance.

I've seen some tweets in the last few days that suggest that the review process has been really slow -- often with people unwilling to do reviews. By and large, I haven't had that problem at my two new journals: @JHPE_journal & @JPIPE_journal. Reviewing has been quick generally.
