Franklin County urged to leave phone services to private sector
In Franklin County, critics argue county funds should stop funding Lucent Technologies for a fiber optic phone system. The system links courthouse, annex, hospital and other facilities, with ongoing Phase three plans costing 600000 to 800000. Taxpayers worry about cost versus private sector capabilities and road conditions remain a higher priority. John D. Montgomery
