The attention really started when the state of North Carolina's (Republican! led) legislature voted for weaker local governance and overrode the cities legislation (among other things).

This is, of course, the same legislature that's so pro-freedom that they've actively suppressed local (city/county) run broadband services where companies like Time Warner wouldn't go.



If you treat the "freedom" in "pro-freedom" as meaning "profit margins", everything works out.
