South Texas Congressman Filemon Vela addresses infrastructure goals for area counties

Alice Echo News Journal Congressman Filemon Vela (TX-34) released a statement on his address to the House Committee on transportation and infrastructure for South Texas at the Members’ Day Hearing on Thursday, April 15. The hearing gives state leaders the opportunity for members of the U.S. House of Representatives to highlight issues of importance to them and their constituents as Congress works to reauthorize surface transportation programs as well as participate in the Committee’s work on all future transportation and infrastructure issues within Committee jurisdiction. “Revitalizing our nation’s infrastructure is a necessary investment that will improve America’s productivity and long-term growth,” Congressman Filemon Vela said. “Improving our land ports of entry, expanding broadband connectivity in urban minority communities, and continuing the development of the I-69 interstate would not only create jobs for South Texas residents but also boost our region’

Opinion: Here s how we end the digital divide

Opinion: Here’s how we end the digital divide By Angela Siefer The COVID-19 pandemic dispelled any doubt about the importance of broadband in the quest for equity in the digital age. The federal government is now rethinking its entire approach to universal broadband access and use and it’s about time. A whopping 27% of Americans report not subscribing to home broadband. Texas isn t faring much better: According to the Census Bureau, 19% of households across the state do not have a home broadband subscription. While the challenge of the availability of internet service in rural areas is real and urgent, our nation’s digital divide is also driven by huge disparities in broadband adoption.

Digital Literacy: Bridging the Digital Divide for the Public

What Are States Doing to Bridge the Digital Divide? State governments, in addition to governments at the local level, have taken concrete steps to close the digital divide over the past year, though experts argue those efforts were largely patchwork or emergency efforts and must be sustained in the years ahead. According to the nonprofit National Digital Inclusion Alliance, states took actions primarily in four areas: expanding internet access, expanding device access, increased tech support and digital literacy efforts, and planning and coordination of digital equity efforts. For example, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey committed $100 million in Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding to purchase internet service for low-income households with eligible K–12 students.
