WELCOME TO REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK WITH HOWARD CASTAY, GENERAL MANAGER & PRESIDENT OF KBZE 105.9FM.

HOWARD BEGAN AN ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN ON SENATE BILL S2992 IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, BECAUSE HIS RESEARCH SHOWED THE BILL IN ITS PRESENT FORM WOULD COST CONSUMERS OVER $22 BILLION IN INCREASED  SERVICE COSTS FROM ONLINE MARKETPLACES, AT A TIME WHEN INFLATION IS STILL AT RECORD HIGHS....

THE BILL WAS INTRODUCED BY SENATOR AMY KLOBUCHAR OF MICHIGAN,

UNDER THE AMERICAN INNOVATION & CHOICE ONLINE ACT, AND SHE IS STILL
