The FCC could save on future litigation costs if it hadn't passed net neutrality rules, one lawmaker says
Some Republican lawmakers questioned the U.S. Federal Communications Commission's new budget request Wednesday, with a couple of them attempting to tie the agency's funding to its controversial net neutrality vote days ago.
The FCC's vote last Thursday to impose new net neutrality rules on broadband providers will likely face a court challenge, Representative Bill Johnson, an Ohio Republican, said during a hearing before the communications subcommittee of House Energy and Commerce Committee.
Defending the net neutrality order "will not be costless," Johnson said. "Wouldn't the commission have saved a significant amount of money if it had let Congress legislate on net neutrality instead of moving forward an ill-fated ... order that it knows is going to be litigated for years?"
Johnson asked Jon Wilkins, the FCC's managing director, for a one-word answer to his question.
"No," Wilkins answered.
After a short pause, Johnson asked Wilkins to give a longer answer. The FCC's current budget request assumes the agency's current staffing will be able to handle any court challenges, and there are no additional budget requests for potential net neutrality lawsuits, Wilkins said. "In any given year, we'll have major litigation, we'll have major issues," and the FCC's staff is built to respond to them, he said.
Johnson pressed the issue. FCC attorneys don't respond to lawsuits "for free," he said. "If they weren't doing that, they would be doing other things that are meaningful and useful to the taxpayer."
Most lawmakers at the hearing steered clear of the net neutrality debate and focused more generally on the FCC's fiscal year 2016 budget request. The agency is asking for US$530 million, $84 million more than in fiscal year 2015. A big chunk of the requested increase, $51 million, would be to move to new headquarters or to consolidate operations in a smaller space at its current building. Either of those options would yield a projected $119 million in savings over 15 years, Wilkins said.
Another $21 million would go toward IT projects, with $15 million for replacing the agency's aging IT infrastructure, including the online public comment system that collapsed in June during a period of heavy net neutrality comment traffic.

Ben Carson, the conservative Republican presidential hopeful from West Palm Beach, generated a large burst of publicity for himself on Wednesday when he explained his theory about why homosexuality is a choice.
Carson, who is a retired neurosurgeon, said he knows it's a choice because people "go into prison straight, and when they come out they're gay."
He offered his views in an interview on CNN. Interviewer Chris Cuomo asked Carson if being gay is a choice, and Carson said, "absolutely."
After going into his prison theory, Carson continued, according to CNN: "So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question."
His comments produced a burst of reaction, and his name was a trending topic on Twitter, which also suggested two other commonly searched terms: "Ben Carson is crazy" and "Ben Carson prison." Major science-based medical organizations reject the notion that homosexuality is a choice.
Before a Presidents Day appearance at the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, Carson told reporters that his opposition to same-sex marriage doesn't mean he's anti-gay. During one of his appearances on Fox News, he raised pedophilia and bestiality when explaining his opposition to same-sex marriage. He said at the Palm Beach event that he believes in equal rights "for everybody including gay people. I don't have anything against gay people."
During his speech before the Palm Beach Republican Club, Carson promised not to soft-pedal his views in order to avoid offending people. "I hate political correctness, and I will never yield to the PC police," he said.
Political strategists don't see Carson, who has never run for office, as a likely winner of the Republican presidential nomination. But he has a growing fan base among conservatives around the country.
Last week, a Quinnipiac Poll of Iowa Republicans, showed that in the first state in the nominating process, Carson was in fifth place with 11 percent. A nationwide Public Policy Polling survey had him in fourth place with 18 percent.
He exploded onto conservatives' radar two years ago with an in-your-face critique of Obamacare at the National Prayer Breakfast with the president sitting nearby on the dais.
