Sooner in exile; naturalized Texan. I occupy a strange, narrow, and very technical niche in state government affairs.

@FrNickOFMConv Even then, it’s not great.

@TKavulla Spanberger isn’t eligible for re-election, so she doesn’t face the same kind of electoral pressure as Shapiro may.

[Don Laub @dl74447]

@TKavulla A bedtime story for all ages.

[Don Laub @dl74447]

@TKavulla And the controversial issues of the day are really way past irrelevant: local measured service and extended area service.

[Don Laub @dl74447]

@TKavulla Those first twenty years were wild!

[Don Laub @dl74447]

@TKavulla Happy Easter, Travis!

[Don Laub @dl74447]

@TKavulla Because Catholicism *is* metal.

[Don Laub @dl74447]

@TKavulla Embargo maple syrup? Bah, non!

@JCal11 @notthefakeSVP @espn @SportsCenter @_SVPod Does the kid have any winners for us?

[Don Laub @dl74447]

@knowledgeprob Thanks for pointing to the thread.

[Don Laub @dl74447]

@TKavulla Travis, it doesn’t seem to be merely inertia, with the prosecutor, jurors, and even the victim’s family opposed to the execution. Given the willfulness of proceeding, it’s worse than appalling.

[Don Laub @dl74447]

@karagoucher What a race!

[Don Laub @dl74447]

@FrNickOFMConv Congratulations, Nick. And thank you for heeding God’s call.

[Don Laub @dl74447]

@MichaelGiberso3 @TKavulla Absolutely. The price cap was based on rates set in the 90s. It’s not clear the capped rates recovered costs when they were set. They certainly didn’t when they expired.

[Don Laub @dl74447]

@TKavulla Maryland has a sad history with price caps. Price caps in the early 2000s prevented competitive entry. When the caps expired, residential rates jumped by 50 to 75%.

[Don Laub @dl74447]

@Shane_in_SD @notthefakeSVP @lukecombs Absolutely true. This is beautiful and heart wrenching in the best possible way.

[Don Laub @dl74447]

@knowledgeprob Straight outta California. Proponents - monopolies or competitive - pay for intervenors to participate in proceedings like mergers. Of course, the level of compensation is also contested. As a result, the WorldCom-Sprint merger may still be pending there. I’m exaggerating. A bit

[Don Laub @dl74447]

@notthefakeSVP The first one has a great addition.

[Don Laub @dl74447]

@notthefakeSVP My parents gave me a subscription for Christmas when I was a kid in the 60s. I lived for the arrival of the magazine. I wish you could get that kind of sports writing in one place so routinely. I still have a few of them.
