Just a wild @$$ guess on my part, but watch GE do Leasebacks of the 50,000 Volts they bought to all these NE Municipalities. I am very familiar with Spfld, less so Hadley and Pittsfield.
What a scam within a scam...
GE is Obama's doup, tax free, buys cars off the Obama Engrd GM, to keep the UAW happy and keep that illusion alive, the Pro Democratic Cities belly up to this "program" because they are Apperachiks, and the IBEW gets a "Taste"... Tony Soprano would be happy with this every one would get their palms greased...
Just so. Except I don’t think they’ve actual produced anywhere near 50 k Volts yet.
The UAW surely benefits but the IBEW I’m sure is flat-out drooling over the prospect of a mandated nation wide jurisdiction.
And just now I can’t see a way to stop it.
