It is a private for profit corporation heavily regulated by the government and granted a monopoly by the State of Florida. TECO is also in the same situation.
Irrelevant.
It is still a for-profit corporation.
You are talking like they are a state-owned corporation.
Which they are not.
Are you seriously suggesting that the Florida government should be giving BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars, DIRECTLY to publicly-owned/traded, for-profit corporations?
Yes or no, please?
