This is extraordinary and so were just real proud of you, Tennessee on rectory for the federal right one of those concerns is a is the fix the listers of this show and I want you to come to help walk us through that. It started when you were in the house.

Now what we did at the federal level. Get rid of some of the growth regulation in the way we simplify permitting and we worked on how you I hurried yet not electric power, now helping provide access to high Internet.

They are accenting some of the fun we had forward such as the rural development Authority. We got in rural utilities service hundred million dollars that would go in waiting, high-speed Internet, the Federal Communications Commission had a girl here find or help technology utilization of those funds yesterday I was in Chattanooga Tennessee with one of the commissioners run to get a friend in car.

The Problem Was Children Didn't Have Access to High-Speed Internet at Home so They Couldn't Do Their Homework at Home.

They Would Have Been to Finish the Their Study before They Went Home and Sometimes It Meant That They Would Take up That Would Get Home and Then They Would Have To Go Back into Town in Order to Complete Their Their Assignment.
