It's a BIG problem in FLA.

I think it's time for the state to correct it's shortcomings.

A Mayoral election fight is going on in Indianapolis right now. I can't
wait to be rid of all the TV ads for the candidates. They are relentless,
ads for & con 24/7. You can'r even take a walk without seeing signs
covering yards, telephone poles, etc. Both parties must be spending big
for all this coverage. Just a few more days till next tues, election day.

There are some elections scheduled in Connecticut next week, also. Big problems there since 300,000 still without power. I read one comment - they were working to get power to the schools and polling places. Bet that last went over big with the citizens.

One good thing - no power, no TV ads, in many cases no phone calls, and the streets are such a mess the candidates can't go door-to-door.

Is the weather that cold in Conn.? No chance for warmer weather to melt
the snow? Don't they import power line workers from other states to help?
Most ststes do in an emergency.

Hey, guess what? I got a call from EX-President Bill Clinton this morning
urging me to vote for our Dem canidate in the Mayoral race.

It was just
a robo call, but still.........

The snow is gone - the problem lies with the trees that fell under the weight of the snow, taking the power lines with them. As of this morning I read that there are still over 200,000 without power in Connecticut. I think they do have some out-of-state help.

Massachusetts has just under 40,000 still without power.
