.@BrookingsInst “State and local governments have already been forced to lay off over 1.5 million workers. Yet @senatemajldr & @SenateGOP continue to block the #HeroesAct and the funding it provides for state and local governments.”

.@AP “Georgia budget slicing spending advances as #Democrats object. It will still mean service cuts, unpaid furloughs and layoffs across state government, K-12 schools and state colleges and universities.”

.@Tennessean “To revive Tennessee’s economy, federal government assistance is a must. Without this assistance there will be massive cuts in critical services and layoffs of millions of workers, many of whom are on the frontlines and essential to fighting the #pandemic.”

.@qctimes “$8M state cut worsens woes of regent schools. The state cut exacerbates massive hits the three universities are absorbing because of #COVID19, which triggered their midsemester move to online-only instruction; canceled events; and curtailed research.”

.@WJACTV “Mount Nittany Medical Center eliminates 250 jobs as it faces $70M loss due to #COVID19. Administrators say they're struggling with a huge loss in revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
