Orange County, CA released the Request for Information on April 13. Questions were due by April 23 and final responses are due May 7.
GovWin notes:
The county believes that the cloud would increase the level of customer care in its GIS by creating easy public access to basic information related to the planning and decision-making process. The GIS is used for permitting, emergency response, navigation systems, and crime analysis and transportation logistics. It enables better access to and consistency of information provided to the public, county departments and other entities.
Deltek estimates the cost could exceed $2.5 million based on similar opportunities in size and scope.

The Washington Bureau of the Press Enterprise was at the event to interview Dangermond and cover Esri's move the cloud. I found this quote from U.S. Interior Deputy Secretary David Hayes' presentation noteworthy.
We now have the power to make information digestible for the people who lead your agency. I get mesmerized by Jack Dangermond and his people, and what they can do.

Macon County, NC had a hearing on Feb 14 to determine if it should keep its recent hazard maps as part of its county ordinances. The maps were complex to make and issue of accuracy and scalability have been raised. This is one technical article for the local paper; I hope residents read it before attending the meeting!

Public Data Sets on AWS provides a centralized repository of public data sets that can be seamlessly integrated into AWS cloud-based applications. AWS is hosting the public data sets at no charge for the community, and like all AWS services, users pay only for the compute and storage they use for their own applications.
There is some Census data already there but geo could represent far more!

West Milford, NJ is in the middle of a lawsuit filed by its former GIS manager. The fellow is alleged to have updated wetlands designations on local maps to benefit some homeowners. He was suspended in 2009 and has file suit for wrongful termination. He changed the wetlands designation from "wetland" to "suspected wetland." The local paper says he used ArcExplorer. An expert witness was hired to help support the city's case; he does not have a GISP, but is a licensed engineer. This is one of those times I'd like to see a GISP.
