MCC Iowa LLC, a subsidiary of Mediacom Communications Corporation, has filed a petition for declaratory judgment and injunction against the City of West Des Moines and the West Des Moines City Council.
The petition alleges the West Des Moines City Council improperly used taxpayer-backed financing bonds intended to remedy urban blight and poverty to build a $50 million city-wide conduit network for the exclusive use of one internet service provider. Filed in Iowa District Court for Polk County, the petition outlines seven specific violations of the law and requests West Des Moines suspend activities related to the conduit network.
