There is language within S. 652 which requires all must carry challenges filed with the FCC to be resolved within 120 days. Let me further state that broadcast stations are important sources of local news, public affairs programming, and…
The basic thrust of this amendment is to maintain the status quo and the rules of the game under which those people who are currently in the country as legal immigrants, playing by the rules as they were at the time they entered the…
The principle? If the goal is to accomplish the objective, why could it not have been stated in an absolute amount as opposed to a percentage of a block grant, which is very different from State to State?
