We live just a bit North of there.

I just heard on local radio that they’ve found a manhole cover moved and inside is one of the cables, cut.

I’m leaning more and more toward an inside job.......AT&T workers are thinking of going on strike.......

Keep saying to yourself “it was an isolated incident” and not a “terrorist probe” of our communication system.

It sounds like the good old boys at the local had to many beers and went out doing some contract negotiations of their own. So much for "Benevolent Brotherhood!"

This is a great opportunity and example to illustrate the proposed "Card check" legislation to eliminate the workers' right to secret-ballot voting for union representation would only protect and propagate this criminal thuggery into all industry nationwide.

I keep telling myself, intentionally harming the telecommunications infrastructure is a federal crime. The is why the FBI has jurisdiction. This joker is going to rot in the clink.
