I want to start by thanking everyone who has taken the time to read, share, and engage with this series so far. I know it’s long, detailed, and not always easy information, and I truly appreciate the people who have stuck with me through it.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how different this conversation could look if communities were given real, transparent research before major projects were approved. Not to stop growth, but to understand it. When decisions affect jobs, housing, utilities, and quality of life, people deserve more than headlines and promises.
As part of this work, I’m also looking into interests connected to the project, including political ties, and asking why more of that information wasn’t shared publicly from the start. This isn’t about accusations. It’s about understanding who benefits, how decisions are made, and why transparency often comes after the fact instead of before.
There is a lot more to come. I believe the public deserves to be informed, included, and respected in conversations that shape our communities. My goal is to keep asking questions, sharing what I find, and making sure this information is accessible to everyone, not just a few people behind closed doors.
After this series is over, you can look for my next series on bipartisan political corruption: Beyond Party Loyalty. I’ve been digging deep into NELA records and am excited to share with you who’s doing it right — and who isn’t. If you find yourself to be loyal to a politician because of the party they represent, this series may not be for you. But if you’re ready to give credit where credit is due and hold those responsible regardless of their affiliation, I invite you to join me on this eye-opening journey.
