They say that nothing lies like a statistic. Well, actually...the most profound liars are to be found among government bureaucrats. The AJC dutifully reports that the Brookhaven Bozos have bowed up at the prospect of 5G for the people with the mayor PO-ed that the FCC told him "how much our dirt is worth" with the city manager walking that back with the claim it "is more about the prospect of multiple ugly poles in a single block of a residential neighborhood."
Wow.
When a city bureaucrat, a hired gun in this case, claims "it isn't about the money" you can bet your life that is exactly what it is about. And so it is. This is all because the FCC has set an upper limit on taxation and federal law says that lokel yokels cannot charge a higher toll for folks to use their own property. Though you'd never know it if you lend your ear to these fools, local governments do not actually own these poles, what sits on them or the dirt they stand on. How can you tell? Because if they did own it, these services would cost ten times what they do and most of the time it wouldn't even work. The truth is they simply do not own it. They just tax it. And guess who really pays those taxes. Not the utility companies, they just pass the cost along. To you. That's right. These governments are pissed they cannot gouge you for services they know you are going to demand.
And the funny part? For cities like Brookhaven (and Dunwoody) the vast majority of these infrastructure investments were made well before they came in and stole it from the prior bunch of parasites.
