Another local publication says a lineman was electrocuted while up in a utility truck bucket.

This is terrible. Thank you to all the utility crew who do such dangerous and essential work for the community.

All the residents that demand that services go underground, might want to think about the real price. Bummer.
RIP

“... might want to think about the real price.”
Are underground wires more dangerous to work on than those on top of poles? I would have expected the opposite.
In any event, we should all pause to appreciate those who do dirty, dangerous jobs around us, often for little thanks. Slow down and give them safe passage when you pass them on the road.
