“The National Governors Association sent a letter to Congress asking for $500 billion in state and local assistance,” said Governor Andrew Cuomo. “Do you know what we got in this bill? Zero.”
ALBANY COUNTY The congressman representing the Capital Region, the governor, and the Albany County executive all said on Monday that the $900 billion relief package finally hammered out by Congress fell short in not providing needed funds for state and local governments.
In a surprise on Tuesday, President Donald Trump tweeted a video, saying he wouldn’t sign the bill. He called it “a disgrace” and said, “It has almost nothing to do with COVID.”
