Right on!
How dare a government take the PEOPLES money and provide a service to the PEOPLE. But it is OK for some Pol from Texas to try to tell the people of Philly what to do with their money?

I would not complain if Verizon, Comcast, COXs and the like were subject to price controls. If they don?t like the controls then don?t provide the service. Anyone would be free to enter the market to meet the demand if they are willing to at the set price.
