- My daughter did exactly that... the result was that the Show Cause summons
- was issued within HOURS after the MLA's office got involved. That they were
- ignoring, if not violating, the laws that govern them, was quite apparent.
- That it took a simple telephone call from the MLA, and MINUTES instead of
- MONTHS, seems indicative of how well these "privatized" bums are meeting
- their contract. They flat refused to do anything until they were reminded of
- the law... in short, as my grand-daddy used to say, they were as worthless
- as tits on a boar hog, and I applaud my daughter's continuing efforts to get
- them off their ass and working as they should be... from what the folks she
- has talked to are telling her, her story is typical; her experiences, and
- the solutions to their inaction, will educate a good many unfortunates in
- the same sorry boat, and that's a plus for the public, who, privatized or
- not, is paying the shot for these responsibility-avoiding drones.
