Although the Attorney General's Office had not <br />developed an official position on the restructuring of Minnesota's cable and <br />telephone regulations, they expressed strong reservations about the proposals <br />that have surfaced so far. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Then, on September 22, Robert Vose, an attorney with Kennedy & <br />Graven; Jeff Weldon, the city administrator for Redwood Falls, and I made a <br />presentation to a joint meeting of the Senate Telecomrnunications and <br />Technology Sub-Committee, chaired by Senator Steve Kelley, and the House <br />Regulated Industries Sub-Committee, chaired by Representative Ken Wolf. <br />Although the meeting was not well attended by committee members, it gave us <br />another opportunity to make the point that municipal officials are in a better <br />position to make decisions about the best ways to meet local <br />. telecomrnunications needs. <br /> <br />@ Printed on Recycled Paper <br />
