| Re: What a crock! 
I'm a resident of the city. We had a city wide vote on a proposal to issue normal everyday municipal bonds to pay for the project. The fiber and system WILL not be paid with TAX money. The citizens approved by a democratic city vote. The citizens voted YES by an overwhelming number for the proposal.
How can Bellsouth and Cable companies say the offering of Fiber to the home by the City of Lafayette is not legal. WE voted to have the process of selling the bonds and starting the infrastructure building of the system. I, a citizen of Lafayette, voted for the bond sales for the project, as did many others. Now Bell-Going-South Chicken you know what, is tying up my tax money by filing bogus and frivolous lawsuits. MY City Representatives are not going to sit back and let BellSouth and Cox tell the citizens/taxpayers on OUR City what we can and cannot do with our government and money!
As mentioned before, Bellsouth and Cox are using such tactics because they ARE scared of losing their MONOPOLY in our city. They would actually have to start spending money to upgrade services with every damn price increase they impose every year without no addition product upgrades....
This subject makes me furious!!!!!1 Urrrrrrrgggh!!!! |
