East St. Louis and neighboring Washington Park have 200 or less residential fixed internet connections per 1,000 households, the lowest rate in St. Clair County. Primarily white and more upscale communities such as Belleville and O’Fallon have at least 800 residential internet connections per 1,000 households.
Waiting for Durbin to declare internet access is a basic human right like he said health care is.

Expanding WIFI access to poorer communities is a great use for money saved by amending pension plans under the state constitution. Instead of our tax dollars going to fill their bank accounts, we could use that money where state funds should be used – actually benefitting the citizens of the state, not the “privileged few.” We need to vote out anyone who stands in the way of constitutional amendments to correct pensions in this state and one which prevents tax dollars from benefitting citizens in any meaningful way. No more tax increases until we use our money for the citizens.
