<div class="">Davis has a legacy of pioneering good ideas (curbside recycling, greenbelts, bike lanes) and none of these were without financial risk. The Davisgig effort is a good example of what makes Davis special; intelligent citizen activism and creative
thinking.</div>

<div class="">The importance of network connectivity is only increasing. It’s been compared to roads already. I’m comparing it to water. Trusting a corrupt duopoly to equitably provide an essential public service is naive.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I ask the Davis City Council to refrain from scuttling the Davisgig effort. There has been a lot of good work done here, and it warrants further evaluation with a cool head. </div>

<div class="">It doesn’t cost us anything to keep our options open.</div>
