Analysis of public-private partnership reveals lack of transparency, accountability, and equity
The public-private partnership between the City of Sacramento and Verizon Communications promised to make Sacramento one of the nation's first "5G cities." Yet the deal has failed to deliver promised benefits, and residents may wonder whether this partnership is a corporate giveaway.
