If the FCC gets its way you could wake up to a giant cell tower right next to your house.

If adopted, new rules proposed by the FCC will give the wireless industry dictatorial control of cell towers, giving them the right to place them anywhere and everywhere – and there will be virtually nothing we can do to stop it. Make your voice heard now to stop these rules from being adopted!

CHD has made it easy to take action! 
 

Here’s what the proposed rules mean for our community:

Silences our community’s voice. What the FCC calls “streamlining” is really shutting us out. Public hearings would disappear, conditional use permits would vanish, and elected officials would be powerless. Decisions about our streets, our schools, and our safety would be made in Washington, D.C..

• Automatic tower approval after 150 days. The FCC calls local review “unreasonable delays.” If your county doesn’t rubber-stamp a tower application in time, it’s approved automatically — even if there is fierce local opposition.

• No independent review. The FCC wants to bar localities from hiring their own experts to test radiation safety. Instead, the industry would police itself — and communities would be forced to take their word for it.

• Lose existing protections. The FCC wants to force towers in the middle of quiet residential streets, on playgrounds, over classrooms, and in historic districts — and your we will have no power to stop it.

• Threatens property rights and local budgets. The FCC wants to strip communities of the ability to cover the true costs of oversight or protect property values. Families could see their biggest investment — their homes — lose value overnight, with no compensation and no recourse.

This is a hill to die on. Fill out the CHD form to demand that these dangerous new rules are not adopted!
