South African app receives 46,693 potholes reports — 7,842 have been closed

A tar road with gravel on the edges stretching off into the distance. On each side is short grass and bushes. The tar road though has more potholes in it than road surface.
The app is not so much about potholes themselves, but more about how transparency is needed to measure success or failure to provide services to citizens. Too often, reports just disappear into a back-end system and no-one sees the full picture, nor how the resolution rate is progressing.

Seeing municipal services are actually public funded services for citizens, I really wonder why not all electrical, roads, water, etc requests are not publicly visible for citizens to judge how their service delivery is going. If this could have been done for the Municipal Money website in South Africa, why not for other municipal services too? Right now, anyone can compare one municipality with another for their financial key performance indicators.

Maybe what is needed is more transparency for citizens to see what is going on, or not, with their municipal service delivery. Then we’ll at least be dealing with objective judgements around service delivery, and be able to measure real improvement.

Just as it's been looking like the pendulum may be swinging back towards #truth, #democracy, and #justice....

SCROTUS

As Jack Smith is put on hold, if not notice. 💅 (Can't find a nail-biting emoji...). 👿 vs ⚖️ #justice and #democracy

I feel like this should be … Breaking News!

Jack Smith Files "Motion for Reconsideration and Stay' - regarding Cannon's ruling(s) about classified evidence (not actually law)

In between end-of-week, ongoing noise pollution by grating voices, lies across the media, and tribalism gone amok…
This seems to have been gotten lost in the mix - maybe part of the whole ‘counter-programming’ of screens and minds?

This here. IMM, is one of the most important (as in meaningful) events since #Jan6, with quietly-waiting Angel of #Justice, Jack Smith -mostly silent. But he's been working to stop Judge Cannon from obstructing AND/or violating or misunderstanding law.

Not sure what will pop up ‘here’ if I share a link - will be happy if the Post post displays…
**This is Jack Smith's filing (.pdf)

Thin-slice: Jack Smith’s ready to go and is tired of Cannon’s obstruction and disregard for (actual) law!

Trump’s Red Flags: Polls Say a Conviction Would Doom His Campaign

Many voters say they don’t want a convicted felon in the White House. But do they mean it? And can prosecutors get to trial before the vote?

THE questions! Tick tick tick ... ⏳
As several efforts are underway to delay/quash ALL the criminal cases, from GA's RICO case which gets at all the #Jan6 crime from the #TrumpVirus cult/Crime Family, to Smith's case (people disparaging, but waiting on "immunity" ruling which seems to many ominously slow in coming), to the 'disgorgement' of the terrific Drumpf Crime Family holdings in New York...

The doors are opening and shutting, with Sir StableGenius plugging all the links in his dam of damned cases...
And as the sub-headline here frames it, the clock is ticking, all eyes on the "DO SOMETHING NOW!" vs. 'running out the clock'.
