On this week’s episode, reporter Michael Isaac Stein talks to host Carolyne Heldman about his reporting on the Cantrell administration’s “smart cities” project, which is now under investigation by the New Orleans City Council.
Stein discusses what’s happened so far — how the project was pitched as a solution to the city’s digital divide, then evolved into a controversy over citizens’ privacy and, ultimately, alleged contract-rigging and self-dealing — and what’s coming next in the investigation.
