Know what I mean?
Verizon stole nothing from Pennsylvania that Pennsylvania didn't steal from it's citizens.
However, Verizon does a better job of not lying about a self-destructing and one-time state income tax.
You'd have to know politics to get this right; the ideaology goes "now Verizon owes us fiber," which will come from the legislature and speed up that fiber deployment. And about time too.
Next on Verizon and Pennsylvania's agenda is to get Texas and UU [dubya] to live up to their end of the bargain for billions in tax incentives for moving DSL HQ to Texas by issuing Federal Funds.
I'd say, George, about $20 Billion out to satisfy us here in Pennsylvania.
Remember when some Texans tried to buy Bank of America? Cash McCall didn't know how to play poker with an Easterner tenderfoot. To date, Texas already owes us 20 Billion for that deal, and we still own the bank, marvelous.
And now, for the payments for Verizon deal . . .

Let's see, Verizon beat the R.I.A.A., it is providing DSL and pushing for fiber for us Pennsylvanians, at least giving us something for our tax monies, and we still own Verizon. Yup, I'd say keep on trucking Verizon; kick their butts!
And thank you Pennsylvania legislators for helping them. We congratulate you. Now, after Washington boys!
