Reports of California’s economic rebound are good news, as is a plan from Governor Newsom to use some of the state’s budget surplus to help Californians who have gotten behind in paying rent, water and energy bills.
Earlier this year, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) held hearings to evaluate the proposed T-Mobile-Sprint merger, where I was one of dozens of Californians who came out to make our communities’ needs known. As someone who works every day to ensure diverse communities have fair and inclusive access to opportunities and services, I feel it’s important to underscore the potential benefitsthe merger will bring to these communities.
