I can't believe this bill is trying to make it easier for personal wireless service facilities to be put up without much oversight. It seems like it could lead to more of these facilities popping up in my neighborhood without me even knowing about it. I'm worried about the potential health and environmental impacts this could have on me and my community. It's important to prioritize safety and transparency when it comes to these kinds of developments.
