Re: Thats Cool! And therefore its the federal governments responsibility to provide this???!!!! How about all those who don't have a car too, have the feds give them one since "private industry" (read car dealerships) won't provide one for them. Oh and make mine a Mercedes while you're at it. Since the feds are paying for it I might as well drive in style.
What a BS argument. |

It's not like these folks have broadband available to them but just don't want to pay for it.
I for one am glad to see my tax dollars FINALLY being used for something worthy of the 1/3rd of my salary taken from me each month.

Your comment is BS. The tax money goes toward helping the community. Giving someone a Car is totally different, DUH, whack |

200 people paying taxes for 10 years means only 250$ per person in grants. Now think about this 100$ per month for internet, phone, and cable. Let's say 20% of that goes toward repaying the 500,000. That is one year and you are in the clear. I'm usually against more government squabling of our tax money, but think of it this way it was either this or some highway in Alaska. |

Mass transmit is owned and operated by the local governments. The federal government does not own or operate it. |

| Correct.
However, the federal government provides grants to cities based on polution control efforts. Mass transit is a big deal for getting federal grants.
If it werent for federal grants, my local transit would not exist. |

Hmmmm... Highway in Alaska... You folks seem to like our oil.. How about we cut it off and let ya freeze this winter?  Better yet,how about we leave the union, nationalize the oil fields and join OPEC? I bet them roads and high speed internet will keep you warm this winter..
Seriously though, take Alaska and split it down the middle (for you folks with small minds, the same distance in comparison would be from Colorado to California). Everything on the left hand side has no fibre infrastructure, no highways. Everything is done over sat connections, boats and airplanes are the mode of long distance transportation. The right side has the road and data infrastructure. |

If they aren't going to use it I would like that money back.
I'm 100% posistive that you local town/city gets federal dollars for questionable projects and I doubt you have any issue with those wasted tax dollars. |
