Olympia Snowe: “We obviously have to reverse this destructive trend toward litigation which is proliferating.”

Due in no small part to the leadership of Senators Rockefeller and Snowe, the E-Rate program from its inception focused on providing high-capacity transmission services to libraries and schools.

Do you think it is possible to draw a line, the cutoff on $250,000?

I do want to acknowledge the bipartisan effort and support for the E-Rate Program by Chairman Rockefeller and Maine's original E-Rate champion, Olympia Snowe.

What is needed is honest, fact-based discussion and a genuine bipartisan commitment to solutions.
