re: I see the same thing after every hurricane that hits BR

Reminds me of the VA story that broke a year or so ago where they were spending 100s of thousands renting hospital beds because they couldn't afford to buy them outright, but the costs over time of renting made the purchase price of beds seem laughable.

Eventually it will happen...or not.

I dont see the reason to invest in some different long term solution like different poles or underground in a state that can't attract new money for the life of them. Might as well keep buying the same poles and duct tape. I dont see where the money is? Do you?
