Tony Cárdenas: “I think we need do--to do a better job of protecting the American public, or helping you do your job of helping to…”

The fact remains that for far too many American households, in both Democratic and Republican districts, the monthly cost of an internet connection is not affordable enough to them.

I am concerned that these rules do not take into consideration constituencies like the majority of the constituents in my district that primarily speak Spanish.

The suggestion that this program should be narrowed to only those who would not otherwise have broadband seems to me to ignore the reality of family budgets.

There is no doubt in my mind this program has saved lives.
