There's a blogger on the Engineering News-Record site, name of Don L. Short. I don't know him.

But, unfortunately for both of us, I can read.

Here's the headline on a short blog he posted: "Florida Rate Hike Denied, or Another Case Of Politics Costing Us Big Time."

Go and read the thing. The "us" he's talking about here is THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY. In other words, whatever happens in Florida among the ratepayers, the regulators, and the utilities, they all exist to give "us" work.

I actually think the Florida regulators DID make a mistake. But I also think the what Short wrote is damaging -- to "us" -- in the short run, the long run, and all of the time in between. Thing is, WE exist to serve THEM. They do NOT exist to provide us with revenue.

That's the right thing, the way it is, right? So Shot's got it ass backwards, ain't he?
