Senate Bill 34 and broadband

For several years, my legislative colleagues and I have advocated for a broadband expansion and faster internet speeds in the 33rd District and other rural areas of Missouri. High-speed internet access brings many benefits to rural communities, including economic development and better access to education and health care services, such as distance learning and telemedicine. I am pleased to say key communications providers have been listening and are doing their part to bring broadband to many of Missouri’s rural areas.
