Advocates and opponents agree that a bill that would bring cable TV competition to Springfield has a "better than ever" chance of becoming law this year.Watch my KY3 News @ 10 report HERE.
A bill that would create a statewide franchise agreement is moving through the state Senate right now. Supporters hope they will get SB284 through the upper chamber by next week.
The issue: Why not create a law that would allow a company like AT&T to come in and compete with Mediacom for customers?
AT&T says a statewide agreement would allow the company to come into the area and provide new services and competition that would in effect, lower prices for customers. But the city of Springfield argues that this bill would allow AT&T to play by different rules that wouldn't provide service and choice to many lower-income customers.

Public Notice and Announcement:
I Steven Reed declared a Declaration of Candidacy at 4:21 on Friday 7, 2007
for MAYOR OF SPRINGFIELD as a Write-In Candidate.
To learn more go to www.reedforcouncil.com:
The issues remain about the same as his race for Zone 2 City Council of
which was lost by 50 votes to Shelia Wright who has been on the City Council
for 12 years. In addition the City should have had the Alice Pittman School and any others that were up and running the whole time---open to SENIORS.
Why was the Mayor talking every day at the Emergency Management News
Conferences about tree limbs being removed---while people were still in the cold and out of food?
On the average of a $1,000 loss by each family times the 150,000 people in
Springfield comes to 1.5 Billion lost by the people and still all we are
worried about is paying FEMA 22 Million to haul off a few limbs!
If we had a plan for this kind of Ice Storm then I would hate to see what
kind of plan we have for a terrorist attack. People can learn more by going

People can contribute up to $50 and checks are being accepted made out to:
Reed for Mayor
1441 S. Estate Avenue
Springfield, MO 65804
