Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo are calling on Congress to approve $500 billion in budget relief for states struggling with the coronavirus.Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo are calling on Congress to approve $500 billion in budget relief for states struggling with the coronavirus.National Governors Association Chairman Larry Hogan, R-Md., and Gov.
The call for extra money depicts an increasingly dire financial strain on states struggling caused by the coronavirus. Congressional Republicans have rejected calls for additional coronavirus related spending at this time, beyond a $250 billion increase to a small business loan program. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy released a separate statement Saturday saying they would continue to reject Democrats' demands.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY, called for bipartisan talks and were in communication with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin over the past several days."Our state and local governments are in crisis, and between emergency expenses and rising unemployment sapping revenue, they need an immediate infusion of funds to prevent the collapse of essential services. On a bipartisan basis, governors are crying out for help and Congress must act.

Cuomo bankrupted the state before COVID-19 existed.
WHAT WAS INCLUDED IN 2 TRILLION DOLLARS? I WANT TO KNOW... HOW THE FUCK WERE THE PEOPLE NOT INCLUDED IN 2 TRILLION DOLLARS?!
I believe the Governors!
Country now in an economic depression and we’re about to relive the 1930’s. It’s a “Back to the Future” remake - produced, directed and starring your favorite President, Donald J. Trump! TrumpPandemic gtconway3d
Congress keeps forgetting they work for the Governors and the constituents of their states! Not Donald! Their seats are at the mercy of their governor.
Wastes gobs of cash on pet projects and now wants everything from feds. Nope. Maybe the “leaders” of those states should live within their means and plan ahead BEFORE pandemics happen.
Unfortunately for the state governments, Trump puts private businesses first when it comes to federal funding. McConnell will block any further attempts to provide aid to individuals, families, hospitals, cities, states, etc. ! McConnell wants further funding for corporations !
realDonaldTrump NEVER give states FREE money. States can raise their own taxes. WHY the heck should rest of nation pay for individual state's MISmanagement. WhiteHouse seanhannity LouDobbs foxnews gop senategop HouseGOP

Funny how Donald condemns the WHO for being ineffective when the entire US government, from the White House through Congress and on down to the street level, is completely and utterly dysfunctional. Glass houses and stone casting, and all that ...
Failure to do your job properly! How about your resignation comes when the money is distributed to your state That is the deal...
The only problem with that is here in Florida we have RonDeSantisFL as Governor. So the majority of the money would go to corporations and tax breaks on the rich. Let nikkifried allocate the money so it goes where it should go. Stimulus Budget Florida TrumpMiniMe
Democrats with their hand out always
No, the Federal Government must let the states go broke. People will migrate to the free and prosperous states while the broke states (i.e. penal colonies) fail.
Cuomo for President
Pretty sure neither of these states have furloughed, laid-off, or reduced their own or other politicians or bureaucrats pay, benefits or perks, while America is 'getting hammered' Time for these folks at both the fed and state levels to take a 50% haircut. ShareThePain
Next round of funding Are you kidding me! Were the hell is first round of funding? I see IRS is now trying to send money to non tax return filers, but hardworking taxpayers haven't seen a dime yet.
No
has anyone missed most of govt being closed...
This will happen. Trump will do anything to win in November.
The next round? Has anyone received the first round yet?
No
Don't do anything Cuomo says. If the great governor's of Illinois and California aren't about it, it's probably corrupt nonsense.
