Re: Not just a republican issue

said by boober321 See Profile :

As a Wisconsin resident, I have been appalled at the lack of consumer protection this new bill offers. I contact6ed my representative (a democrat) and was dismayed to learn she too had absolutely no concern for the customers rights, as did the originator of this bill. Looks like AT&T has no problem buying votes from both sides of the aisle.
Another person realizes that it doesn't matter if they dress in red or blue, they are still crooks and easily bought.

Re: Not just a republican issue

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

Re: Not just a republican issue

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...

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.
