A local lawmaker has criticized Gov. Gretchen Whitmer for vetoing legislation last week that would have allowed tax breaks to internet companies that provide broadband access to underserved areas.
Howell Republican State Representative Bob Bezotte says House Bill 4210 would have expanded broadband service access to rural communities, which largely lack the technological infrastructure necessary for video and phone calls. Bezotte said that with âmany Michiganders working and attending school virtuallyâ that kind of technology âis becoming increasingly important in our daily lives,â but that when presented with what he called âan easy solution to this problem,â Bezotte claims Whitmer âchose to neglect rural families.â
