Deerfield passes CAP Act Resolution
The Deerfield Village Board passed a resolution in favor of passage of the the Community Access Preservation Act (the CAP Act) at its meeting of January 23. Deerfield is the second city in Wisconsin to pass a resolution. Marshfield is the first.
Congratulations are in order to Lyn Meyer and Dave Lemke of Deerfield Community Television and Patrick Smythe-Eagle, Village Board, who asked the board to consider the resolution. To assist them in making the case to the Village Board, they invited Mary Cardona, Executive Director of WCM to make a presentation about the CAP Act. Cardona provided background material on the bill and answered questions. Based on that discussion, the board requested that a resolution be drafted for consideration at the next meeting, during which it passed.
Deerfield is located in Rep. Tammy Baldwin's congressional district. Rep. Baldwin is the co-author of the CAP Act. Rep. Steven LaTourette (R-OH) is the other.
