Senate Commerce Democrats Griping About Chairman Stevens' Management

Coverage Type 

[SOURCE: Technology Daily, AUTHOR: David Hatch]
A look at how Sen Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) runs the Commerce Committee. Democrats on the panel are complaining he is not responsive enough to requests for hearings on pending legislation. For example, 1) hearing proposed by Democrats on telecommunications mergers was set for June 22 but postponed and never rescheduled; 2) two Oct. 25 hearings on universal service were planned, but never occurred; 3) a Nov. 1 indecency hearing never happened and 4) a Nov. 3 hearing on video franchising never materialized. Is there a pattern here?
