911 Surcharge Proposed

A bill moving its way through the Legislature would spike the surcharge on phone bills to fund the 9-1-1 network. Residents now paying a 75-cent surcharge on landline and cell phone bills would have to pay $1.25 through 2018. The increase would go toward paying for Next Generation 9-1-1, an advanced system that lets the public transmit text, images, video and data during emergency calls.
