Letter to Congress on License Challenge

The Campaign Legal Center's Meredith McGehee sent a letter to the House and Senate Commerce Committees, as well as Representatives and Senators from Illinois and Wisconsin, regarding CLC's recently filed license challenge to Chicago and Milwaukee area broadcasters. The letter asserts, "The dearth of local election coverage represents a market-wide failure of local television broadcasters in these two communities. The broadcasters in Chicago and Milwaukee failed to provide citizens with the information they needed about local races. Such information enables members of the public to become informed voters who are essential to a healthy, working democracy." McGehee also insists that the Federal Election Commission should not simply be a rubber stamp in the process of broadcasters' license renewals.
