Brindisi, no stranger to fighting with Spectrum, is calling on the CFPB to…

Congressman Anthony Brindisi, D-New York, is ramping up efforts to save those teams, like the Binghamton Rumble Ponies in his home district, which is in danger of losing its affiliation with the New York Mets.

“Minor League Baseball is so important to many small cities across the country,…
