Michigan bill says no “federal, state, or local funds” can pay for broadband
- forapurpose 9y agoSome important context: There is an organized movement among GOP-controlled state governments (which is most of them) to block Democratic policies in cities and other localities. For example, in one state (I forget which one) a city passed a law banning plastic shopping bags; the GOP-controlled state government tried to pass a bill outlawing such laws in the state. As with other state legislature movements, especially GOP ones AFAIK, national special interest groups write the legislation.
