Yesterday, the Delta Regional Authority announced that it will invest $1 million to help expand broadband service to more than 11,000 residents in Southeast Missouri. Having access to broadband is as important as the telephone was to jobs and education 70 years ago. I’ll continue supporting DRA’s mission to strengthen local economies and improve the quality of life for Southeast Missouri families.
I’m proud to announce that legislation I introduced with U.S. Senator Chris Coons to reauthorize the Victims of Child Abuse Act is on its way to the president’s desk.
This bipartisan bill will ensure Child Advocacy Centers and law enforcement continue to have the tools they need to coordinate the investigation, treatment, and prosecution of child abuse cases.
