Rep Waxman's parting words: 'We need government'

Outgoing Rep Henry Waxman (D-CA) said that his decades in office should be remembered as proof that government can make a difference. “My message is government can make a difference,” he said. “We need government...we need government to act in the interest of the public.” Rep Waxman, who is stepping down from Congress after serving since 1974, urged the Federal Communications Commission to enact tough rules on network neutrality that would prevent Internet providers from slowing or blocking people’s access to websites.
