Call the Governor Day Two: Brodsky Bill "not one of the issues we're tracking"

One of those who called the Governor yesterday to urge him to support Assemblyman Brodsky's Telecommunications Reform Act reports back that the:

Person I spoke with said this was not one of the issues they were currently tracking.

The governor's office isn't tracking upstate economic renewal? or internet freedom? or the most significant reform of telecom law in New York ever?

It is imperative that we put this issue on Mr. Spitzer's radar. If you haven't yet done so, Please Call The Governor and ask him to support the bill. You can reach his office at 518-474-8390.

If they tell you they aren't tracking this, tell them they should start!

I just called (0.00 / 0)

They told me they are keeping track of pro/con calls by zip code (I obviously told them I'm "pro").

I guess this means we have their attention?

It is probably politically most expedient to focus on how this bill can help lessen the digital divide downstate than help the economy upstate, even though both are really, really important. Given the recalcitrant attitude of the Bruno contingent, I think we can safely expect to see Spitzer defer any serious upstate economic development work until after the Senate majority can take no credit for it. I called the governor on this bill once about my rural upstate needs. My second call will focus on the difficulties in my daughter's Bushwick neighborhood in Brooklyn...
