 mrks join:2005-07-12 Lowell, MA | Verizon Power companies are paying this tax already, why should Verizon be exempt statewide when we all know they are expanding (fios) when and where they want to (profitability). Which is there right. But they want to have it both ways. |

Which is there right. But they want to have it both ways. I wonder if the local power company here (municipally-owned) has to pay property taxes on the poles to the town? I wouldn't be surprised, considering this state... |
