'Getting Geared Up' for Another Cyber Bill Fight?
What's going on back in the districts?
Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse says he's getting been in the Ocean State "getting geared up" for another fight over cybersecurity legislation in the upper chamber. Before leaving for recess, Senate Republicans blocked a White House-backed measure aimed at protecting U.S. computer networks from attack.
"I think it's been difficult for our Republican colleagues for the Chamber of Commerce not to see this as a national security issue," Sen. Whitehouse told the Alley.
The Chamber argues that government should have little role in setting standards for private companies.
