Congressman Sires’ Statement on the FCC’s Net Neutrality Proposal 

(Washington, D.C.) – Congressman Sires issued the following statement in response to FCC Chairman Pai’s proposal to repeal net neutrality rules:

“I strongly support an open and vibrant internet as our economyand productivity rely on it.  The FCC’s rushed rule making process is highly concerning and has been done without adequate consideration or input from all stakeholders who would be impacted by such a sweeping decision.  This move follows the same pattern of irresponsible proposals put forth by the Trump Administration that impede consumer interests.

Congress should have the final say on any proposal that would alter net neutrality rules to ensure that laws are not enacted that could have a harmful impact on consumers, small businesses, and jobs.”
