Local officials air broadband, cell concerns with federal politicians Supervisors advocate in Washington, D.C. By Thom Randall STA FF W RITER

QUEENSBURY | Two Warren County supervisors spent time in Washington, D.C., last week advocating for improved broadband and cell coverage — and boosted funding for ambulance services — in the rural areas of the county. Horicon Supervisor Matt Simpson and Glens Falls Ward 3 Supervisor Claudia Braymer met with U.S. senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Charles Schumer as well as U.S. representatives Elise Stefanik and Paul Tonko, telling them how vital broadband and cell access was to the northern Warren County areas — and urging them to secure funding for expansion of such networks. The supervisors’ visit with the legislators was an outgrowth of their participation in the National Association of Counties’ 2019 legislative conference March 4 and March 5, which drew about 2,000

county officials from across the nation. Braymer said she talked to Schumer, Gillibrand and Stefanik about how vast areas of northern Warren County, especially the towns of Johnsburg and Thurman, lacked broadband and cellphone connectivity. She cited observations from Johnsburg Supervisor Andrea Hogan that businesses and families have been planning to move out of the area because of lack of reliable broadband service. Simpson said that all the delegates to the National Association of Counties conference were committed to expanding broadband coverage, and the organization’s Telecommunications and Technology Committee voted unanimously on a resolution calling for universal connectivity. “Every session we attended, people mentioned how critical it was to improve broadband and cellular coverage — to support economic development, meet the needs of our students, develop our communities, encourage tourism and retain our residents,” he said. “In the Adirondacks, connectivity also means job development alongside environmental protection, because people could have home-based businesses without excess commercial or industrial development.” » D.C. trip Cont. on pg. 5
