Just a note, but not all areas in the country have monopoly utilities. There are in fact quite a few with required competition, much like the throttled pipe for internet argument. Ex: In Georgia if you have a gas line to your house you can purchase gas from any gas provider in the state. This style of legislation is probably more inline with what the constituents want than the municipally owned solution or the single provider solution.
