Stamford reps reject 5G agreement, citing safety worries: ‘This may cause harm’

Twenty-one of the city legislature’s 40 members on Wednesday voted against the agreement with the nation’s two largest wireless companies, AT&T and Verizon, despite guidance from city officials that local regulation of the matter is preempted by federal law. Five representatives voted in favor of it, while eight abstained — some saying they weren’t property informed on the issue.
