Waste of taxpayer's money

"One limitation of the Putnam bill is that it covers only publicly traded corporations. Other companies, including water companies, power companies, cooperatives and tens of millions of small businesses, would not face mandatory security assessments."

So, pretty much, this covers the big companies who are already doing something like this? He then says "Our critical infrastructure, of the cyber kind, must have the same level of protection if we are to be secure as a nation", but many water companies, power companies, etc., wouldn't be covered by his bill.

Glad to see our elected representatives hard at work, creating more government beauracracy and oversight that will do absolutely NOTHING.
