BUFFALO – TOMORROW, Friday, July 3rd at 9:15 AM: U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand will visit the Broadway Barns to call for legislation to provide local governments with direct federal relief that can be used to pay for essential services and offset lost revenues and increased costs stemming from the COVID-19 crisis. As local governments have faced slashed revenues due to the pandemic, direct assistance is needed to help state and local governments recover from this crisis.
Senator Gillibrand will stand with local leaders, including Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown, to highlight the potential layoffs of public health care workers, firefighters, police, sanitation workers, teachers and other vital public servants, if communities do not receive federal funding. Gillibrand will call for all counties, cities, towns, and villages — regardless of size — to have the financial resources necessary to provide essential services and avoid local tax and fee increases that would place a heavier burden on already cash-strapped families and businesses.
