Shares
SACRAMENTO Assemblywoman Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, D-Winters, and state Sen. Lena A. Gonzalez, D-Long Beach, led a group of 17 members of the California Legislature in calling upon Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislative leadership to support a major investment in broadband infrastructure and service for Californians without reliable, affordable internet. The effort comes as Newsom considers adjustments to his January budget proposal for the fiscal year 2021-22 in the annual “May Revision.”
The letter calls for a $500 million allocation in funds from the American Rescue Plan to support the deployment of broadband municipal fiber networks by local governments. The group calls for a significant $3 billion investment to further target and support broadband infrastructure deployment by local agencies, nonprofits and internet providers who apply under the California Advanced Services Fund (CASF) program.
