Washington Post Excerpt:A familiar ring? The State of Wisconsin is on the threshold of giving telecommunication companies special rights to install their lines and technologies, permitting the companies to bypass municipal and local authority if necessary under the guise of offering competition and lower prices.
The federal government said yesterday that it would give power companies special rights to build their lines in the Washington region and some other parts of the country, permitting the companies to bypass state authority if necessary in the interest of bolstering the nation's electrical grid.
The Federal government is granting corporations the power to overrule states, and the states are giving corporations the power to overrule localities. What is left to sell out?
