Lobbyists have taken over. If there ever was a doubt, all you need to do is look at AT&T’s recent victory. And then think that Illinois even had more more sense to pass a better bill. It looks like we can expect PEG funds for the next three years, but after that, funding for WYOU, City Channel 12 and the School Board education channel will likely disappear. While Governor Doyle has not yet signed this bill into law, and he has the power to either veto it completely or make changes to it, it is unlikely he will do so. So, he needs to hear from us!
