Get PINKDOME Merchandise!

Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Phil King Wusses Out

Phil conveniently missed the 7th Annual Community Networking Conference. As Chair of the House Regulated Industries Committee, he was scheduled to give the keynote speech. Oops, that would have required him to defend HB 789, and since he couldn't possibly do that he sent someone else to be slaughtered. Special legal counsel Jake Posey was under attack by many of the attendees.

Poor Jake, how's it feel to get screwed by Phil King?

And Phil, shame on you. How many times do we have to admonish you this session. It's getting embarrassing for both of us.

Most interesting was Posey's contention that the incumbent carriers hadn't attempted to influence legislation prohibiting muncicipal wireless projects becuase they weren't aware of the issue!
