Re: Blame the stupid voters Well unclehomer, as against this project as I was, I must say you sound more like someone with a personal vendetta than someone with an honest disagreement.
What FFOF had against them was, had this measure passed in its original form, it would have put taxpayers at risk. Tricities backpedaled and changed it only after the voters had a fit. Comcast and SBC notwithstanding, TCBB helped poison their own well and blew their only real chance to get this off the ground.
They also failed to explain why, if they had private money, did this need to go before the voters in the first place? The best answer I could get from anyone on this message board was that "the investors want it that way," and "the municipality has a good name," both of which are remarkably weak reasons for putting voters through this.
I'd like to see the TCBB movement go forward without the government. They have their own money and support of city leaders, so what's stopping them?
As for you unclehomer, lighten up. No matter what, they are sincere, concerned folks who are not out to lie or screw anyone over. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to be against this without getting dramatic.

| Thanks Mo. I sincerely appreciate your comments today. I know we sit on opposite sides of philosophy on this one (to put it mildly-HA!), but, you are right, we are not out to screw anyone. Now, how about that beer we always talked about sometime?
