| Message | Telephones are a basic service that must be provided for free. This bill eliminates the rights of the people to free communication. |

| Message | Don't worry about how much it costs. We are sitting fine as far as money is concerned. The important thing is that Government is doing what it is supposed to do, which is to provide services to people. You tell the greedy constituent who wrote you and complained about being forced to pay for something that he doesn't think other people should be entitled to to quit his bitching and just let other people have stuff. If he doesn't want it, he doesn't have to have it, but there is ZERO call for austerity. One of the proper roles of Government is to provide services to the population. This is why they pay taxes! This austerity mindset is garbage and it is sociopathic, and as a legislature, we should not support anti-social policy. |
