There are exceptions even here in Texas. My city has no toll roads and has a publicly owned power company.

We don't have private power companies in this county. What are they gonna compete on? Price? They would buy the power from the public company. Service? The service is honestly good.

I dream of moving to a different. State but I thank my lucky stars I grew up in this city.
