Just received this update from the Briarcliff Heights Community Action Group. As always, we appreciate their continued input and support for our mission to keep DeKalb's schools free from the intrusion of cell towers on school grounds and free from the corrupt policies this "slush fund" money enables.
The HB176 (Mobile Broadband Leads to Infrastructure[BILD] Act) was passed on 1/23.
Representatives Drenner, Henson, Holcomb, and Oliver were the only four to vote against the bill. The bill will now move to Senate.
WE DO NOT WANT THIS BILL PASSED as it does not go in our favor regarding cell towers on school properties and residential areas.
PLEASE take a moment to thank those who voted against this bill: Representatives Drenner, Henson, Holcomb, and Oliver. We should also remind those that did vote for it, all other representatives, that they voted against local control, for cell towers at schools, and against the wishes of DeKalb citizens.
More importantly we need to contact our Senators about the coming of this bill. We have the opportunity to prevent it becoming law. Contact information is below:
· Senator Steve Henson - State Senate District 41 (D) - stevehenson@mindspring.com
· Senator Jason Carter - State Senate District 42 (D) - jason.carter@senate.ga.gov
· Senator Gloria S. Butler - State Senate District 55 (D) - gloria.butler@senate.ga.gov
· Senator Emmanuel Jones - State Senate District 10 (D) - emanj@mindspring.com
· Senator Fran Millar - State Senate District 40 (R) - Fran.Millar@senate.ga..gov
As we know more, we will let you know.
