MONTPELIER, Vt. --Union leaders, small business representatives and
some politicians are urging Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas to oppose a plan
to sell the Verizon landline telephone system in Vermont to FairPoint
Communications.
Representatives of those groups today used a wheelbarrow deliver 2,600
postcards expressing that opinion to a Douglas representative.
FairPoint is hoping to buy Verizon's landline system in Vermont, New
Hampshire and Maine. The deal must be approved by utility regulators in
the three states. The Vermont Public Service Board is expected to issue
its ruling by the end of the year.
Opponents of the sale don't believe FairPoint has the financial
capacity to deliver on its promises if the deal goes through.
