Letter: Show your support for CAT-7

It feels like the outgoing Cloquet city administrator, Aaron Reeves, is doing everything he can to get rid of CAT-7 and its coordinator Eric Lipponen. I worry that the church services, “Harry’s Gang,” various sports and other things that are shown on CAT-7 will be gone. They already haven’t been on the air for ages and it’s not clear why Reeves decided it was his job to change everything about the cable access station since it’s funded entirely by Mediacom.

With Reeves leaving Sept. 5, I think any final decision regarding CAT-7 should be tabled until the city council, cable access commission and new city administrator can review and decide the future path. It is the community’s station and this should be a communal decision.

Please make your voices heard by calling or emailing the mayor and members of the council. The loss of CAT-7 would be a hardship on all those who are shut in and disabled.

There is also a petition on Facebook to keep CAT-7 and Eric Lipponen.

Lee Ann Walsh, Cloquet
