Lawsuit Threatened

Members of Alabama's Public Service Commission are threatening to sue the state if lawmakers pass a bill that would take $30 million dollar out of the phone service provided for the deaf and put it into the state education budget. The measure is already through the Alabama House and will be discussed in a Senate committee Wednesday. 15 cents comes out of the money paid by landline customers each month for the Dual Party Relay Fund, which pays for relay operators.
