John Hickenlooper released the following statement on the coronavirus relief bill that passed the Senate late last night:
“This bill is a necessary step to getting resources to hospitals on the frontlines of this epidemic, helping working families pay their bills, and extending unemployment insurance to self-employed freelance and gig workers. Now we need to see how quickly we can get relief to the people who need it. There is far more to be done to slow the spread of, and recover from, this pandemic. Families need housing protections, rural communities need support as they combat the epidemic, and we need improved protections to make sure these resources go to small businesses and workers–not into the pockets of the wealthiest and biggest corporations. Congress needs to put partisanship aside and work together to deliver results for the American people.”
