IN STRONG OPPOSITION TO:
HB2596 - A Bill for Broadband (5G) Service Infrastructure - OPPOSE
This bill is designed to use your tax dollars to fund grants to private telecom companies to bring wireless technology to rural and sparsely populated areas. It potentially means 5G everywhere. No safe haven. OPPOSE
Sample testimony:
We oppose HB2596. We do not approve of grants being given to fund more harmful cell towers and antennas. Wireless radiation is a known health hazard.
We need legislation that will protect people of all ages, and all living organisms, from the hazards of continuous exposure to pulsed, data-modulated, microwave radiation, which is a manmade toxin that causes biological damage at levels many thousands of times lower than current US radiation exposure guidelines.
The best plan is fiber to the premises. Fiber is safer, faster, more secure, protects property values and protects privacy.
