At our February Link-up we will discuss a proposed bill in the State House of Representatives that isn't getting very much press, if any at all, yet poses a serious danger to our Democracy. House Bill 1452 would, if passed, eliminate or severely cut the franchise fees that are charged to cable companies such as Comcast. These fees are a major source of funding for our Community Access Television Service (CATS) which broadcasts all the major government proceedings in Monroe County.
