Re: Not just a republican issue
except there's no good reason for any statewide franchising.
all the so called "consumer protections" were already for the most part in place with local franchises.
illinois really got nothing it didn't already have.

At least your legislation is seen as as consumer friendly as they get. Ours is modeled on Texas, which has proven completely anti-consumer. Just like NCLB, which was already proven to be a failure and full fraud before it hit the national scene, here comes their lousy version of anti-consumer franchising regulations. Seems nothing good comes from Texas... No Child Left Behind, Bush, now this... |

Seeing as how not a single rep in either house in Illinois voted against the Illinois legislation, I'd have to agree.
