senate 06/09/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to update the Communications Act to clarify and tighten the definition of franchise fees, ensuring that all charges paid by cable companies to local governments are properly accounted for. This will help protect community television resources and promote transparency in how these fees are assessed and used.

If protecting community TV means hiking costs, count me out; people want choice, not handouts.
