SACRAMENTO, CA. — Assemblymember Tasha Boerner (D-Encinitas) issued the following statement after the Trump Administration demanded that California end net neutrality to receive BEAD funding:
“The Trump Administration is once again attempting to blackmail consumers and withhold funding to support state programs that help improve our daily lives. BEAD funding goes to ensure families get connected to the internet so children can do their homework and parents can work. I am looking forward to working with Governor Gavin Newsom, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, the California Public Utilities Commission, advocates, and other stakeholders to ensure that Californians are not treated unfairly and that our state gets our fair share of resources from the federal government.”
