Washington has responded to the unprecedented economic disruptions brought on by the coronavirus pandemic with extraordinary measures to bolster our nations health-care system, keep businesses afloat and support tens of millions of unemployed Americans. Given the vast scope of the public health and economic challenges we face, our federal government must go further. Federal aid for state and local governments that matches the depth of the crisis is urgently needed.
The language of revenue shortfalls and fiscal cliffs used to describe these challenges may seem distant from the concerns of New Yorkers who are struggling to pay their bills and keep their families safe. Make no mistake: Ensuring that states and local governments get through this crisis is a bread-and-butter issue with immediate and tangible consequences.
Keeping states and municipalities solvent means keeping police, firefighters, teachers and health-care workers on the job; maintaining social services for our most vulnerable residents; and avoiding tax increases that could hurt working families and small businesses, or longer-term deficit borrowing that would impose todays costs on tomorrows taxpayers.
The case for direct, unrestricted federal aid is clear.

it’s even worse than the nursing home intentional infections- as bad an despicable as that was— he also denied the use of HCQ in out of hospital settings, knowing full well the drug saves saves lives when given early enough- he deliberately banned it’s use in early stages of the virus- causing countless needless deaths- Actually they can be counted- and amount to 10’s of 1000’s
Reports all over the world were showing how well, how fast, and how effectively the drug was saving lives- Enough anecdotal evidence to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt hat it was saving lives- yet he refused to allow it except in the most dire circumstances when it was too late-
The disgusting despicable press covered fro him 100% of the way too- they still are-
Why are the schools built like palaces. Same thing its government offices except DMV.
Excessive top heavy management with bloated salaries and solid gold benefits and retirement.
Top of the line everything for them.
Cut administrative staff. Cut salaries... they could fix their problems but they wont give a millimeter
The meth head needs some cash...you know, for a tank of gas.
How about No? How does No sound to you?
NY and NYC were both going deep and heavy into the fiscal sh*tter BEFORE the Wuhan virus was even a mention, but yeah, now they want a bailout? LMAO.
I live here. I did not cause this. The scumbag elected officials did. I know too many people who have died of this damn virus and dozens who contracted it. Please do not generalize. There are many good people in New York as there are in every other state. I am watching friends and colleagues struggle with being laid off, having their businesses shut, and not knowing how they will last another month of not working. This is affecting everyone I know in one way or another. My pay has been cut. I cannot go to my Church on Sunday. I cannot even go to the cemetery to visit my loved ones. You have no idea how awful the situation is here. Please do not judge unless you have seen what I see.
Take it up with your governor and mayor.
Thanks for the compassion.
