Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow says getting high speed internet to rural communities in Michigan is a priority for her.
Senator Stabenow announced she and other Senators have started to draft the new Farm Bill. It sets the agricultural and food policy for the United States. But it also helps finance rural development – from high speed internet to water and sewer.
Stabenow says in the past, the bill has been a large, bipartisan effort.
“Even with all the partisanship and division, I’m very hopeful that we can do the same thing this time.”
Stabenow says as they draft the bill, she’s focused on getting broadband internet to rural communities across Michigan.
