Summer of love? Perhaps not ...

Back on June 1, we suggested that Chairman Martin would be able to utilize his newly-constituted majority (with Commissioner McDowell coming on board) to begin pushing through a number of controversial items.

Today, however, the Commission officially withdrew from consideration a controversial "multi-cast must carry" order that Chairman Martin supported. Apparently Commissioner McDowell could not support the order as drafted, and accordingly the item was pulled from the agenda of today's Open Meeting.
