That’s why I introduced two bills in Washington addressing broadband issues facing many in our country: the Connecting Minority Communities Act and the Governors’ Broadband Development Fund with Sen. Lindsey Graham. thestate.com/opinion/opn-col…

If passed, both bills would expand access to broadband to folks in underserved communities. My legislation would incentivize development and create more opportunity for Americans to thrive. thestate.com/opinion/opn-col…

The problem is that you guys always add $$$ to bailouts & stimulus bills but the money is severely mismanaged. We can't allow you to keep throwing money to the wind. Tell us where all that other cash went that was supposed to resolve this. I already know but tell the whole class.

I really hope these pass. We have very little access.

You gonna work with @WhipClyburn on this?

Trying to run my Insurance and Real Estate business from home in Northern Edgefield Co is virtually impossible without any reliable and cost effective broadband/WIFI!!

STOP. Hughesnet and Viasat already provide such access. What you need to do is stop spending money that we don't have and that's not yours. This is pure vote pandering. Act like a Republican instead of Democrat.

Is it a clean bill? If so, I can support the concept. How about you link to the text of the bill - make it easy for voters to review it.
