Broadband reforms welcome, but public must remain vigilant
The Sun Community News Editorial Board published an editorial highlighting concerns about New York State’s broadband program. The editorial encouraged "local lawmakers to develop a systemic structure to capture and direct all telecommunications-related concerns" from residents to the appropriate channels and praised the Essex County Board of Supervisor’s creation of a broadband task force. The piece also stated that broadband "isn’t a luxury, but rather a necessary tool to close gaps in economic inequality and educational achievement in our rural communities."
