Governors from both major political parties on Wednesday urged lawmakers in Washington, D.C., to cast aside partisanship and deliver relief to U.S. cities and states facing economic ruin as they fight what they called a 'red, white and blue pandemic.'
NEW YORK/WASHINGTON - Governors from both major political parties on Wednesday urged lawmakers in Washington, D.C., to cast aside partisanship and deliver relief to U.S. cities and states facing economic ruin as they fight what they called a “red, white and blue pandemic.”
Without specifically mentioning Tuesday’s bill, which faces a legislative challenge from Republicans, the bipartisan National Governors Association asked Congress to deliver “urgent state fiscal relief.” The legislation includes nearly $1 trillion in long-sought assistance for state and local governments bearing the brunt of a pandemic that has infected nearly 1.4 million people in the United States and killed more than 82,000.
In California, Tesla Inc reached a deal with officials to resume production at its electric vehicle assembly plant in Fremont as early as Monday, county officials said, apparently ending their standoff with CEO Elon Musk, who had vowed to defy authorities and open the plant. State and city officials, torn between battling the outbreak and restoring business and social life, have often acted along partisan lines, sometimes within the same jurisdiction.
