Title: FCC chairman announces resignation
Post by: ChrisSmolinski on March 22, 2013, 1944 UTC
Julius Genachowski, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission and friend of the president, announced his resignation Friday.

He will be leaving the FCC after a mixed tenure that has disappointed some of the consumer groups that were his earliest supporters, but that also sketched a plan to bring Americans more access to broadband Internet for years ahead.

President Obama is expected to announce a successor soon. Tom Wheeler, a former lobby group chairman and venture capitalist is a leading contender.

Isn't that a conflict of interest? ???

Peace!

Will they keep Pat Murphy on the informant payroll? I'd hate to see the old coot have to suffer through retirement without a little extra income.
