Re: Dumb Government
said by TKJunkMail  :Politicians are incredibly deceptive. I think you're being way too kind. People in this country are conditioned to expect government to do just about everything. Look at anyone running for public office. All they do is make promises about what they are going to give to people. Elections haven't been about electing people to get the government to do things that need to be done, but rather, deciding who can be the best at playing Santa Claus all year long.
If someone tries running on a platform of cutting most government spending to the bare, absolute minimum, he or she would get my vote, but that person would be creamed in any election against anyone else.

said by pnh102 :Another day, another story about yet another failed municipal wireless venture that will require yet another taxpayer bailout. It'd be nice to see states step in and ban local governments from getting into these sorts of agreements in the first place. Politicians are incredibly deceptive. They know that Metrofi can't go forward as is, but they make the demand so that their idiot voters think they are actually doing something. Populism at its finest.
»MetroFi Wireless Network Disappoints Portland
Portland’s current stance is that MetroFi should stick with its initial agreement and complete the network but there’s no firm answer yet as to how the city will proceed. And how can they expect a company to stick to an agreement that would bankrupt the company and end up with NO SERVICE at all. Did Metrofi screw up with their muni bids - no question about it. But making unreasonable, unenforceable demands does nothing for the city and its taxpayers.
