tlhIngan writes Municipal broadband is in the news again — this time Chief of Staff Matthew Berry, speaking at the National Conference of State Legislatures, has endorsed states' right to ban municipal broadband networks and warned the (Democrat-led) FCC to not do anything that a future Republican led FCC would dislike. The argument is that municipal broadband discourages private investment in broadband communications, that taxpayer-funded projects are barriers to future infrastructure investment.

I'd feel like vomiting if I voted for an evil scumbag. That's why I vote based on my principles, and not just on who is 'less evil.' Productive or not, I refuse to support evil scumbags that the democrats and republicans put forth.
