Re: Right On Alice

Perhaps you should research the different vehicles municipal systems use for funding. They're not all funded the same way.

Do you use the USPS? Have they put UPS, FedEx, or DHL out of business yet?

Do you use public schools? Have they put private schools out of business yet?

Private enterprise failures cost taxpayers money too, but taxpayers don't share the profit if they're successful.

Who's trying to set the price of private service anyway? Private companies are always free to gouge customers whatever the market will bear, whether or not there is a municipal system in place. The gouging has gone on for so long, people would like an alternative, and in many places we're willing to build it ourselves.

Don't like it? Then don't move to an area with a municipal system. But there are plenty of others who will come when it's built, so I doubt you'll be missed.
