Re: Congress 1. Interests Groups 94585

Wow, west virginia is like the only state, (maybe louisiana) to tell the incumbant to go to hell... Pennsylvania tried, but VZ did the armtwisting polka, and some $$ killed (or reduced)the munis efforts there...

I'd be proud to get some of those west virginia (that's really a state in and of itself?) for my 50 state quarter collection...
They should redesign that quarter to read, FREE muni broadband for all, screw you verizon!
(Translated into southern gibberish for effect of course!)

Sorry but you misunderstood what I said.

1) The state in question is West Virginia
2) What I meant was that NO other state has taken such a BOLD stance against lobbyists and actually looked at a piece of legislation before blindly making it law.

...it seems their representatives are a helluva lot smarter than those of the other 49 states and the Distric of Columbia.

Good Job West Virginia!
I wouldn't go so far as to say Virgina is the only state with some intelligence in the union. Other states have turned down ILEC lobby efforts as well. Texas (of all places) actually turned down lobby-induced legislation just recently. Still West V. did a good job.
