Great...

Subpar product lining the pockets of the village.

So is this essentially allowing the board of the village to pick and choose which services will be available to it's residents?

How disgusting... I hope Verizon sues the Town of Babylon.

Thay can use that cushy $20,000 in lawyers fees.

It's that News12. "Only on cable. Never on FiOS. Never on satellite."

News12 is terrible no matter where it is.
