Rep. Phillips Comments on Telephone Service Changes in Agriculture Budget Bill

“Although House Bill 490 has many provisions– some of which I strongly support –I cannot vote for the elimination of landline telephones for rural Ohioans. Too many of our neighbors, friends and family in Southeast Ohio depend on their landlines because they do not have reliable cell phone service. I hope that the Senate will work to strengthen protections so that rural Ohioans can keep their reliable phone service.”
