Description

Spools of fiber-optic cable outside of Windwave Communications' offices in Boardman. An Amazon data center is visible in the background.

The Oregon Department of Justice says officials in Morrow County bought a fiber-optic business from a local nonprofit at a lowball price, improperly capitalizing on Amazon’s booming data center business in the small community and generating a windfall for themselves.
