This weekend, full funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) officially expired – forcing more than 96,000 Nebraska families to face stark price hikes on their monthly internet bills.
The ACP – a product of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law – serves 36,997 households in Nebraska’s Second Congressional District, lowering families’ monthly internet bills. With nearly half of those enrolled in the program being veterans and military families, Bacon is leaving behind those who have sacrificed for our country.
Meanwhile, a majority of House Republicans – including Don Bacon – actively called for this program to expire through their Republican Study Committee, whose budget calls for the end of the program.
DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“At every turn, Don Bacon caves to his party bosses at the expense of Nebraska families because he’ll do anything to protect his political career. This time, Bacon is actively raising costs on the middle class and making it harder to make ends meet.”
