A comparative study of water allocation and drought in two US states
Issues of water allocation, especially in times of prolonged drought, are increasingly common in the US. The lack of a national policy regarding water allocation means that allocation schemes are the purview of states, except in some cases of interstate water allocation. State supremacy in this policy arena means that there are, in effect, 50 different water allocation policies in the US, reflecting different political realities, legal foundation…
Regional Disparities and Risk Factors in US Drinking Water Violations
Objective High‐profile cases such as the 2022 drinking water crisis in Jackson, Mississippi, along with numerous ongoing wastewater violations in Alabama and elsewhere, raise persistent environmental justice concerns. Despite nearly $40 billion allocated for drinking water and wastewater infrastructure under the 2021 Infrastructure Act, states vary in their ability and willingness to serve historically underserved communities. This study aims to …
Explaining state investment in drinking water infrastructure for disadvantaged communities, 1997-2016
Administrative resilience under pressure
Digging Deeper
Objective This study assesses the factors associated with the identification of oil and gas violations as reported by street‐level bureaucrats, for example, oil and gas inspectors. Findings, we suggest, contribute to broader debates about regulatory compliance and environmental governance. Methods To accomplish the above, we built a novel dataset of over 300,000 oil and gas inspectors conducted in Pennsylvania between 2010 and 2022 along with a r…
Does Disclosure Matter? Coupling Information to Performance in Texas
Policy scholars have explored various policy instruments to understand how states work toward multiple goals. However, little attention has been given to the enforcement of these policies, especially as it relates to how changes relative to the disclosure of information impact policy enforcement and performance. Enforcement, like rule formulation and adoption, involves complex regulatory processes, political dimensions, and potential place‐based …

Framing Water Infrastructure for Climate Resilience
As the effects of climate change become more acute, the search for solutions to a growing infrastructure crisis becomes increasingly important. In this commentary, we offer some approaches to guide our collective thinking about the importance of governance regimes related to water infrastructure, as well as a framework for ways to think about infrastructure solutions that move beyond traditional “gray” solutions to more natural solutions that can…
Drilling Setbacks vs Government Takings
State policymaking is at the center of many oil and gas related disputes. Driven by the promise of affordable energy, economic development, and new revenues, supporters of oil and gas have pushed for policies designed to nurture the oil and gas industry, whereas opponents have emphasized a myriad of environmental threats and disruptions. Statewide ballot initiatives related to oil gas extraction offer a particularly useful lens to examine the pre…
Introduction to the Symposium
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (P.L 177-58) authorized some $1.2 trillion to invest in infrastructure in the United States. The largest infrastructure investment in a generation, the bill combined funds for traditional infrastructure (roads, bridges, water, ports, etc.) with money for broadband internet, electric vehicle charging, clean energy, and other uses. However, only a small portion of the funds are available to address…
Crude Contempt
Investigating voter preferences has been a challenge for those studying the politics of fracking. Recent scholarship has assessed local fracking bans in Texas, Ohio, Colorado, and Pennsylvania. These findings suggest the importance of political ideology and voters' experience. This project continues to develop an understanding of local defiance and “fracking” attitudes, by extending this inquiry to California. Utilizing a novel dataset of over 40…
End of the (Pipe)Line? Understanding how States Manage the Risks of Oil and Gas Wells
An understudied aspect of the “fracking” debate involves questions and challenges associated with abandoned wells and well closure. States regulators have a variety of options when it comes to policies and financial tools related to site closure and remediation including bonds, fees, and specific legacy funds. Those advocating more robust financial programs suggest that they are necessary to mitigate risks to the public. Opponents contend that th…
Institutional Variation, Professionalization, and State Implementation Choices
The question of the effect of administrative arrangements on program administration and program outcomes is a central question for those interested in policy implementation. In the implementation of federal programs, the specific state-level administrative arrangements can have a significant impact not only on resource distribution patterns, but also on the ability of involved agencies to secure adequate state resources for the program. This pape…
Concrete Evidence
The COVID pandemic has forced governments to reimagine their revenue sources and spending priorities as well as how they balance meeting increasing public health demands with other pressing challenges. As the challenges to local economies have grown, policymakers at all levels of government have debated how best to restore confidence in the economy while mitigating the pandemic’s economic fallout. One such example is the Federal Government’s CARE…
Seeking Patterns in Chaos
The federal government’s response the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has been marked by a series of apparently disjointed, chaotic, and confusing statements and actions on the part of both the White House and federal agencies charged with coordinating the federal response. These actions have left many state governors (and citizens) in a position to address the effects of the pandemic in a haphazard and atomistic manner. In this essay, we c…
Developing and Defining Diversity
To gain and maintain legitimacy from internal and external stakeholders, public sector agencies and organizations have engaged in efforts to increase their diversity and cultural competency. While these changes are typically seen as welcomed, timely, and important, they also challenge organizations. To aid in diversity management scholarship and practice, this research develops a descriptive typology based on organizational outcomes and prioritie…
Pot”reneurial Politics
Public‐ and elite‐level interest concerning recreational marijuana is increasing, thanks in large part to the successful legalization campaigns in four states. Scholars, however, have yet to systemically assess how states allocate and manage marijuana‐related dollars. Some states likely prefer “tight” budgetary control, suggesting that remitted marijuana dollars are largely earmarked to specific purposes. Other states might opt for “looser” budge…
Sandbagged
The political, technical, social, and economic challenges related to climate change are well documented. As policy makers are increasingly experiencing the reality of rising sea levels, they are also confronting a fragmented and sometimes fractured intergovernmental system. State and local governments face a delicate balancing act, especially, when it comes to infrastructure and climate change. They must respond to citizens, avoid losing their au…

Fueling the boom or smothering it? Examining oil and gas policy differences across the states
Who Is at ‘Fault?’” The Media and the Stories of Induced Seismicity
Media attention to earthquake risks linked to the underground injection of produced waters from oil and gas fracking operations has increased over the past few years. However, little scholarly attention has been devoted to newspaper coverage of events and state policy actions that are associated with “induced seismicity.” A key concern addressed in this article is whether newspaper coverage is largely unrestrained or is restricted by other factor…
Mitigating Risks From Fracking-Related Earthquakes
Public concern about earthquakes linked to wastewater injection from fracking operations is rising. However, few have examined how “induced seismicity” is acted upon by state officials. For some, an incremental response to smaller quakes can be viewed as an acceptable risk policy orientation because of the sizeable economic benefits that accompany drilling activities while others prefer risk mitigation policies (such as the use of “threshold poli…
Energy Abundance or Environmental Worries? Analyzing Public Support for Fracking in the U nited S tates
This paper provides an analysis of public attitudes toward fracking use and policies with an eye toward factors that help us account for differing levels of support. Using data from a national survey of A merican adults, we found that women and people residing in urban areas are slightly more inclined to oppose fracking and to favor more regulation in terms of drilling operations and company chemical disclosure requirements than men or people liv…
The Right to Know? State Politics of Fracking Disclosure
U.S. energy firms are increasingly expanding their production of natural gas oftentimes by relying on a controversial extraction technique known as hydraulic fracturing. While proponents cite a litany of benefits including economic development and reduced carbon emissions, opponents articulate concerns typically centering on environmental quality. Caught between these opposing points of view, states are turning to disclosure requirements. Yet all…
