I think part of the discrepancy here is that for these ones beyond the six, a lot of that work was done or completed under previous administrations.
Frank Pallone
The Public Record
Frank Joseph Pallone is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for New Jersey's 6th congressional district since 1993. A member of the Democratic Party, Pallone has been a prominent advocate for health care reform, environmental protection, and consumer rights. He has played a key role in shaping legislation related to public health and climate change, often speaking out against policies he views as detrimental to these areas.
the EPA currently, on the track that it's on, is endangering public health and the health of the environment.
With the CLEAN Future Act, my colleagues and I have outlined aggressive action to address climate change and other pollution.
The fact is that climate change is causing more frequent and more severe disasters; and a functioning communications network can be the difference between life and death in these situations.
We must also be mindful to not expand the Federal Communications Commission's jurisdiction to include the electric distribution or transmission system--where they have no relevant expertise.
The statistics are particularly alarming for LGBTQ youth, who are four times more likely to attempt suicide than their peers.
We have a responsibility to ensure our networks are prepared for this stark reality.
We support the goals of Chairman Pallone and Representative McNerney's RESILIENT Networks Act.
The FIRST RESPONDER Act would repeal the T-Band auction mandate, and includes strong provisions to address the shameful acts by some states of diverting 9-1-1 fees intended for the maintenance and upgrade to Next-Generation 9-1-1.
When a storm or wildfire strikes, it is essential that people can still make calls to 9-1-1 or to loved ones.
This legislation picks up where the SANDy Act left off and will ensure that communication networks are prepared for the worst when disaster strikes.
