Sen. Ernst Urges DOGE Leaders to Cut $1 Trillion; BEAD on the List

In a seven-page letter to the leaders of the Department of Government Efficiency, Senator Joni Ernst urged Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to give some ideas on how to cut $1 trillion from US government funding.  Among other programs, Sen. Ernst identifies the BEAD program as one of her ideas for “trimming the fat and reducing red ink”:
"President Biden’s so-called infrastructure program provided $7.5 billion to build a nationwide network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and $42 billion to expand broadband. Three years later, just 17 EV stations are completed and not a single person – not one – has been connected to the internet yet. It’s time to pull the plug,"

Last week, Iowa Communications Association’s Daniel Stalder and Dave Duncan had a meeting with Senator Ernst’s telecom advisors where BEAD was a main part of that discussion.  ICA identified some challenges with BEAD that Congress or the new Administration could hopefully address, but there was no indication that the Senator would later advocate to terminate the program.  We have followed up with Sen. Ernst’s office to get further information on her suggestion that BEAD funding should be eliminated. 

Oh yeah, 70s had a ton of great music too.  

1280s were pretty good, some of the earliest Belgian breweries were opening up around then.

Class of 1985. Graduated in 1984.

Speaking of 70s music, anyone else watch the "Yacht Rock" documentary on Max?  It's pretty good, very interesting look at the LA music scene in the 70s and early 80s.

Happy 80th. Ute!!
