The short explanation of this alert was:
Next week in the RI State House, House Bill H7360 will be discussed by the Corporations Committee. This Bill would require Utility Companies to complete transfer of wires, all repairs and removal of existing poles within 3 months from installation of a new pole. If transfer was not completed within 3 months the utility company would be fined $250 per day. This money would go directly to the cash strapped cities and towns. There are thousands of these double poles in Rhode Island and some have been there for years. They are an eyesore as well as a safety hazard. Instead of performing this work Verizon laid off 61 employees and are threatening more layoffs.
