Nearly two weeks ago I called Mike Doyle’s Office asking him to support HR 2060, a bill that would save music and netradio as we know it. At the time I was told that he was meeting with Representive Inslee soon and hadn’t yet made a decision on the bill. That was understandable given the fact that Inslee introduced the bill the day before I called.
It’s now been two weeks and there are 51 cosponsors of the bill, and growing. Representative Doyle still is no where to be found on the list of cosponsors. In fact, not a single person in Pennsylvania’s house delegation is a cosponsor. The same goes for West Virginia’s tiny house presence. Ohio has a single cosponsor, representative Tim Ryan (D-OH-17), who represents northeastern Youngstown and parts of Akron.
I called Representative Doyle again today and was told that no decision had been made yet on the issue. It’s unfortunate that just when Doyle was showing that he may actually be tech savvy, he’s dragging his feet on the future of music.
