Businesses don’t come to Minnesota for the winters, but they do come, and thrive in states where there aren’t burdensome regulations. States that let customers determine how they want businesses to be run are the places where real growth and innovation occur – something that Minnesota could use more of.

But not if the Minnesota Senate Commerce Committee has a say-so. The Commerce Committee thinks that as politicians, they know best how run business, and are proposing a bill, HF 635, that would place undo burdens on wireless companies operating in Minnesota. 

Called a “Consumer Protection Bill,” the bill is more about piling on unnecessary and redundant hoops for businesses to jump through that will add more dollars to your wireless phone bill than “protecting” anyone. If the bill should pass, fall-out includes impeding innovation, limiting customer choice, and increased costs.

TAKE ACTION and tell the Commerce Committee that Minnesota needs to be on the pioneering side of wireless technology, bringing greater access and more information to residents.

I like to think that the customer knows best and that Minnesotans want to be able to choose for themselves what kind of service they want. TAKE ACTION and keep your choices up and costs down.
