 japPremium join:2003-08-10 038xx 1 edit | Nothing wrong with taxes. Nothing wrong with taxes paying for anything the people want. CableCos & Telcos were (& to a lesser extent still are) all massively subsidized to perform rural build-outs and they robbed the people blind. With muni subsidies, at least, the money stays local and the jobs created are local. Connectivity is a great community asset; no reason it should be run by hit&run corps that may or may not follow-though & always outsource what they can.
