Notice in the email they call out that SBC employees will lose their jobs if the referendum was to pass.
Actually it says:

A government-funded network relies on taxpayers' hard-earned money, threatens SBC jobs and puts the municpal broadband at an advantage not afforded to their competitors.
It says it threatens their jobs, it doesn't say they will lose their jobs.

Exactly,

What muni broadband plan was it that caused the massive round of layoffs at SBC not so long ago? Also, if a car manufacturer is going to put skilled carriage crafters out of a job, how is that an argument to forgo cars and stick with buggies? We should just stick with the status quoe forever because somebody might lose their job... that's life folks.
