Re: Broadband Bill of Rights

By the way, if you would like to send the County Council your opinion regarding the Executive's recommendation, now is the time to do so.

Unfortunately, it's very unclear as to what the council should do. The possibilities I see are:

1) accept the Executive's recommendation,
2) accept with minor changes,
3) reject and ask him to do it again,
4) reject and kill the whole bill.

Personally, I'd encourage 3 but I doubt the council has the interest to go that direction. I suspect they'll do 4. (Admittedly, I didn't think they'd pass the bill originally so my predictions may not be worth much.)

It's even possible that the Executive may have did what he did in order to encourage 4. Or maybe he just didn't see the point of expending any more energy than necessary. After all, it is possible that the bill will be overturned no matter what the Executive supplied. I don't actually believe that but that's what I've been told the Executive believes. If true, the Executive did the most sensible thing.
