When the original Google fiber city selection was going on I was attending school in one of the smaller sized competitor cities. It doesn't even take back room shady deals for this to be a thing; the administrators of all sorts of local government institutions were more than happy to publicly subjugate themselves to the will of Google just on the hope that it would sway their favor. I can only imagine what Kansas City had to do to get noticed.
