It was gratifying to be in the audience today, with Catherine Rice and other advocates of municipal broadband, for the House Finance Committee's vote to recommend that HB 1587 be given more study.

Rep. Paul Lubke noted that it was a "tremendous grassroots effort" that "brought this bill to a halt."
