As I squeezed through a gate and toward the vines at DuCard Vineyards, Owner Scott Elliff turned to me and asked, “Have you ever been to a vineyard?”
I responded quickly.

It seems that Verizon wants to “protect” Madison County and has hired a consultant to that end. The question is why have we not — as a county — hired a practical minded engineer to study the facts delineating adequate cell coverage for our community? Placing our confidence in Verizon’s consultant is like allowing the fox to count the chickens as they go to roost for the evening. Where is the common sense in this equation?
