Two commissioners of the Federal Communications Commission are resigning at the end of this week. For at least a little while, the FCC will have just two members: Chairman Brendan Carr, a Republican chosen by Trump to lead the agency, and Anna Gomez, a Democratic commissioner.
联邦通信委员会的两名专员在本周末辞职。至少有一段时间,FCC将只有两个成员:特朗普选择的共和党主席布伦丹·卡尔(Brendan Carr)和民主党专员安娜·戈麦斯(Anna Gomez)。
Democrat Geoffrey Starks announced in March that he would leave in the near future, and today he said that Friday will be his final day. Starks' departure could have given Carr a 2-1 Republican majority, but it turns out Republican Commissioner Nathan Simington will leave at the same time as Starks.
民主党人杰弗里·斯塔克斯(Geoffrey Starks)在三月份宣布他将在不久的将来离开,今天他说,星期五将是他的最后一天。斯塔克斯的离职本可以给卡尔以2-1的共和党多数派给予,但事实证明,共和党专员内森·西明顿(Nathan Simington)将与斯塔克斯(Starks)同时离开。
"I will be concluding my tenure at the Federal Communications Commission at the end of this week," Simington announced today."It has been the greatest honor of my professional life to serve the American people as a Commissioner. I am deeply honored to have been entrusted with this responsibility by President Donald J. Trump during his first term."
辛辛顿今天宣布:“我将在本周结束时在联邦传播委员会任职。”“为美国人民担任专员,这是我职业生涯中最大的荣誉。我非常荣幸地受到唐纳德·J·特朗普总统在他的第一任期的责任。”
Bloomberg reported in March that Simington"has also wanted to depart to take on different work," but he didn't announce his resignation until today. While the Carr FCC is going from a 2-2 partisan split to a 1-1 split, Carr isn't likely to have to wait as long for a majority as his predecessor did.
彭博社在三月份报道说,辛辛顿“也想离开从事不同的工作”,但他直到今天才宣布辞职。尽管卡尔FCC从2-2的党派分开到1-1分,但卡尔不必像他的前任那样等待多数席位。
