Re: You want others to pay for your speech--why?
Not in mine. Anybody else out there, in anyplace besides Corvallis, able to avoid payment of their "public access" fee?

said by calvoiper  :No, I don't. It's a mandatory fee that I have to pay if I want cable--it's not an option that I can decline to pay. There are plenty of hoops to jump through, but in most cases you can get out of paying it. Sometimes you have to pay it but can get it refunded. That is true in nearly every city.
