It’s been too busy in the last few weeks to be highlighting every mention of broadband – the way I did a couple of years ago. But when the mention comes from the Governor I still like to call it out.

“One person at a time; one family at a time,” he said of how the economy will turn around.

Access to capital was just one of the themes to emerge from a jobs’ summit the governor sponsored on Tuesday.

Other themes include ensuring border to border high-speed broadband, increasing state exports, better aligning higher education to job opportunities, closing the employment and learning gap, among other themes.
