Hello INWers,

Tuesday morning at 8:30, the House Finance committee will hear H.129, Rep. Avila's anti-Google Fiber bill. It's important to show up if you can to make your opposition known.

This may be our last chance to keep Google Fiber and municipal broadband alive in this state as Time Warner Cable continues to demand outlandish concessions from municipalities and refuses to negotiate.

If you can spare an hour before work, please show up at the Legislative Office Building room 544 for Tuesday's Finance committee meeting at 8:30 AM. And continue to call your representatives and let them know your feelings!

Here is a link to the Finance Committee webpage:

Thanks so much for all you've done to date!

Cheers,
Mark
