“Montclair is the latest New Jersey municipality to move its money. Jersey City voted last month to divest from Citizens. The De-ICE Citizens Bank coalition, which organized the pressure campaign, says the two New Jersey towns have pulled more than $330 million combined.”

🆕 Can voting out leaders improve local service delivery? Today on VoxDev, Samuel Bazzi (UCSD), Masyhur Hilmy (UNSW), Benjamin Marx (Boston University), Mahvish Shaukat (WB) & Andreas Stegmann (University of Münster) discuss evidence on village elections in Indonesia: ow.ly/BQxy50ZmNUQ

Can voting out leaders improve local service delivery?

Local elections have the potential to disrupt the ‘business-as-usual’ culture that often settles in bureaucracies. Evidence from village elections in Indonesia shows that changes in leadership improve information flows between citizens and the state, revitalise bureaucracies, and improve public service delivery.

I forgot how much of a mess the transport from Cengkareng airport is, that the Damri lady discouraged me from taking the bus because I’d just be stuck in traffic.

Choice quotes: "The enormous growth of the industrial parks—Morowali IP alone employs 38,000 workers, 6,000 of them Chinese—have hardly moved the needle on local poverty. Nickel ... has almost surely benefitted Indonesia’s business elites. Meanwhile, workers work in dangerous conditions."

I really enjoyed reading this from @global-developments.org: www.global-developments.org/p/indonesia-... -- I lived for a year in Central Sulawesi, on the other side of Teluk Tolo from Morowali where nickels are mined.
