Next time while driving through our community notice how many damaged power poles are leaning and barely standing. In some cases with either power or telecommunications wires still attached. This continues to be an issue where the major utilities don't follow up and secure these poles correctly. As your Senator I was motivated by a story of a young boy that was hit by a falling pole in 2015 and was ready to champion legislation that would have held utility companies accountable and imposed fines if the poles weren't properly removed and replaced within weeks rather then years.
