In 2023 I campaigned on making sure utility companies were properly taking care of the equipment including poles. Last night City Council voted to allow for Verizon to maintain and install cable throughout the city. I would hope they continue to hold them all accountable in these agreements to prevent this from being fatal. The General Assembly needs to their part for the safety of all Virginians as well. Here is the story of a 6 year old in Portsmouth was hit by a falling pole in his driveway in 2015. https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/dominion-investigates-why-pole-fell-on-portsmouth-boy/291-222045465
