Riggs leads charge toward broadband expansion

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Rep. Louis Riggs has taken the next step toward addressing the critical shortage of broadband access to rural Missourians with a letter to Gov. Mike Parson, Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe and Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, requesting $250 million in matching federal funds. Broadband-specific funds are expected in the future, but Riggs said the letter requests the specific amount as matching funds federal money from all sources. Speaker of the House Rob Vescovo set up a budget committee for possible allocations as money becomes from the federal government, and Riggs has talked with Rep. Doug Richey about what opportunities exist to best expand Internet access and complete the critical “last mile” broadband connection to homes.
