12. Being a resident of Winter Park
and a volunteer for Al Gore in 2000 and a modestly affluent caucasian male, I voted to kick the greedy corporation out.

I believe that public utilities are a good thing. They were invented to stop market manipulation by greedy corporations in the first place.

All that being as it may, the vote passed because my power goes out every time it rains. It rains alot in Florida. It is like that for many here.

Driving through town, you could tell where the power goes out most frequently by the campaign signs.

As an aside, I have been push-polled twice, by what seemed to be a call center in India to get me to vote against the City takeover. I don't like that.

Clear enough?
