Had the chance to hang out in Julius Nyerere’s (first president of TZ) personal library and found this PA classic among many others.

@KANetworkGeek Stick straw for the win

#LakeMichigan is the most widely used source of drinking water in the #GreaterChicagoArea. 12 municipalities directly extract its water
for 172 municipalities relying on it. Learn about this #DrinkingWaterNetwork in this @govfinanceUIC research brief: https://t.co/fC4bvxeNhk

@cbgoodman I wouldn’t be surprised if other suburbs look to become DWC members as a result of this, both existing Chicago customers and far western communities not on lake water. Improves the economics if membership grows, but hurts Chicago even more.

[Jason Michnick @JasonMichnick]

@Amanda_Kass @srboisvert I guess if we mean “Chicago” the region and not the city, than it’s true. There is 12 that pull from the lake, but only 7 and a JAWA that sell water.

I’ve been lucky to work with TDS since 2015 and see the meaningful impact that investing in girls’ education has on communities in Mara, Tanzania. Today’s a great opportunity for donations to TDS to receive a match and help buy books, computers, water for schools, etc. Link👇

Local governments have more than one option for regionalizing water systems and there are tradeoffs. Grateful for the opportunity to share our team’s findings during this awesome panel!

Today’s @UAAnews conference presentation from @govfinanceUIC is brought to you by @uicppma PhD student @JasonMichnick who delivered work on authority and accountability of different regional public service organization forms in the provision of IL drinking water. @Deb_A_Carroll

[Government Finance Research Center (GFRC) @govfinanceUIC]

The ⁦@govfinanceUIC⁩ team kicked off ⁦⁦@UAAnews⁩ with Dr. Laura Medwid presenting on #procedural #transparency & #affordability in #municipal #ordinances governing #drinking #water provision in northeastern IL. ⁦⁦@Deb_A_Carroll⁩ ⁦

[Jason Michnick @JasonMichnick]

Really enjoyed presenting my research with @MPSAnet on the role of intergovernmental organizations as regional policy coordinators in the sustainability space. So much good feedback on where to go with this next.

[Jason Michnick @JasonMichnick]

@Deb_A_Carroll And shared a wealth of knowledge and guidance to many very luck students like me! Congratulations!!

Super excited to have a first publication out there with my name on it! Much more to come from the awesome team at the @govfinanceUIC!

🚨New paper in the #Illinois Municipal Policy Journal @IMLLeague: "Networked Supply Chains: Describing the Costs of Lake Michigan’s #Drinking #Water" by @JasonMichnick @KANetworkGeek @Deb_A_Carroll @Amanda_Kass & Brooke Wetmore. Read it here: https://t.co/MU3FzIagL1

@Amanda_Kass I have. It’s pretty intuitive. Happy to help however I can.

[Jason Michnick @JasonMichnick]

@cbgoodman @SkuzinskiThomas @KANetworkGeek @Deb_A_Carroll Don’t think it’s because homerule. They would need an IDNR allocation, but I thought that was administrative approval. Maybe the bill is because the receiving station is on state property?
