I mean no disrespect but I have to dive in here. If I am to believe what I read in the latest issue of "lake Martin Living" you of all people should not be on here complaining about cable service. I say this because I learned in that article that you sit on the City Council in AC. The council is in control of who provides cable to the citizens via contract. Why would you not use your position to bring the matter to the council and have new contract negotiations started? You have to have read the Charter horror stories related on this forum through the years. I don't know you personally and have respect for you through your postings. A little less for sure now after reading this thread and knowing that you are in a position to really affect change to the situation, yet do nothing but change your own service. I realize everyone else has that same option, but why should they have too? I am sure there are ways out of the current contract, as there are for most any contract. You, and ALL politicians, are elected to lead, not sit on the sidelines.

Charter, in AC at least, is an abhorrent company. Not just one but many horror stories about them have been related on these pages. Mine is the worst I have heard and I will not retell it here again. If you are interested you can contact me and I will be glad to relate it to you.

Once again, this is not intended as a personal attack, just an inquiry. You can choose to ignore me if you wish. I live in the Gap and can't vote for or against you. However I will say knowing what I know right now, I would not vote for you. Use the position you hold to lead and make a better circumstance for the citizens of not only your district, but city wide. It would also help many others in the county as I am sure whatever new company came in would offer their services county wide. It may take collaboration of the city and county governments, but it is doable, IMHO.

Thanks for reading my rant.

P.S.- Love your Honey.
