Local

Once again 1,600 locals lose power.

"An estimated 1,600 Ohio Edison customers in the area of Westmont and Security drives are without power tonight because we’re told a tree has fallen on electrical lines and started a fire."

This is nuts. We're the laughing stock of the world. Here's an article from 2003:

"Years of neglected investment in the vast and antiquated network that moves electricity around the country -- combined with steadily growing power needs -- have left the nation's electricity grid vulnerable to disruptions, analysts say."

And it worse today. This couldn't happen in the private sector. Only government can manage services this poorly.
