| Don't skip the part about "Those demands, according to Verizon, include regulating placement of Verizon's wires ..."
Huh? Then who SHOULD have control over where a communications company places its wires? -- The freakin company? You want your garden dug up or the wires buried in your arse? Don't care? Then turn your backs because of an admittedly stupid 65 public access channel turd and let the fun begin.
As for deep pockets, Montgomery county may have pockets of deep pockets, but those pockets are getting more shallow every year. Check the changing demographics and housing values. Every burrow has its own 'pocket' of 6 or more to a house on every block with more to come.

| I believe in Maryland it's the state PUC which regulates the placement of the wires.
Monkey county appears to just be trying to be unreasonable. Demanding that VZ pays Montgomery County for the lawyers that the county uses to negotiate with VZ is a nice touch. I wonder if Montgomery County courts demand that defendants pay for their prosecution... |

Most people pay these in traffic court but no so much in criminal court because most are considered indigent. |

| Court costs theoretically go to the court, not to the prosecutor's office. The equivalent would be Verizon paying for an arbitrator or mediator. |
