This is why we pay taxes.


Duh...can you possibly be as stupid as you seem? It costs a little
over a million dollars to pay for each mile of electrical wires put
underground. Hardly cost-efficient in rural farm areas where most of
the people without electricity live.

To top it off the poles were knocked over by the hurricane that came
through last September. Last week was the worst ice storm in
Kentucky's history. Two disasters in the last 5 and a half months have
left us without the resources to put the electrical lines underground.

RHF, by the way, which infrastructure improvements in the US (not
Iraq) were paid for by the Bush administration?
