Rep Walden Welcomes FCC Commissioner O’Rielly Call for FCC Process Reform

Federal Communications Commissioner Michael O’Rielly’s call for increased transparency and better process at the commission could not be more timely.

The FCC’s last few open meetings have been marred by bad process and insufficient sharing of information among the commissioners -- underscoring the need for reform.

With bipartisan support, the House approved FCC process reform legislation in March. But despite its unanimous passage through the House, this commonsense legislation has hit a roadblock in the Senate. In both the FCC and the Senate, the American people deserve better -- the time for reform is now.
