State Senator Chet Ed
wards (D-Duncanville)
gained a major victory in the
Texas Senate when the
Committee on Economic
Development voted in favor
of Senate Bill 46, Edwards s
bill to prohibit telephone
companies from charging
customers on each local call
made in their own home or
business.
The bill passed the
Committee on April 24, and
will be considered on the
Senate floor within the next
two weeks.
“I am extremely elated at
the Committee's decision
Many people said it could
not be done, and that we
could not win a battle
against the phone compa-
nies,” Edwards said “The
people of Texas won the
battle today, and 1 am very
hopeful that the full Senate
will uphold the decision,”
Edwards added.
