This is UNREAL. I can't believe the state legislature might outlaw such a system as is in place in Wilson.

The bill sponsors are Senator David W. Hoyle (Dem) Gaston and Senator Debbie A. Clary (Rep) Cleveland and Rutherford. Contact your local legislators, see what sense you can get as to what chance this bill would have of passing and express your stand.

I have no problem with Wilson (or others) doing this. But depending upon what side of the fence you are on, the legislature is either protecting the Monopoly that the current providers have or they are trying to keep those damn Communist/Socialist from corrupting our free market system. ;)

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.
