In what seems like eons ago (2006), the Legislature passed what was known as HB6456, a.k.a. The Cable Franchise Reform Bill, bloggers became worried about the lack of net neutrality that would result from the bill. National bloggers even got angry with the Governor, causing a short lived fight between the local and national bloggers. The local bloggers (i.e., us) asked "where were you when we were trying to make heads or tails of this bill months ago?" while the national bloggers conceded that we should've been working together on this earlier.

Governor Granholm promised us later that net neutrality would be brought to the legislature as "stand alone" legislation.

Well, it's been over a year now. And while Comcast hasn't decided to start charging blogs like ours money so we won't be censored by them (unlike a certain Republicon Senator we all know), it's highly likely that without legislation we could be seeing it in the future given Comcast's recent actions. After doing a google search to see if any bill has been passed, I couldn't find anything. So either it's just not showing up on google (unlikely) or Lansing decided to put this on the back burner.

So I ask the Governor and our Democratic friends in the Legislature: Y'all gonna get on this or what?
