to keep their jobs as well as tens of thousands of cops and firefighters and first responders and correctional officers. and joe biden will tell you that not one of the 50 governors we've spoken to, democrat or republican, has failed to show appreciation for this relief. and i also have to tell you that i am concerned, because state budgets have not yet recovered, and you're now seeing a whole bunch of state and local governments who were able to put off layoffs last year as the recovery money is running out having to make some very tough decisions, and we could potentially see layoffs taking place this year because we haven't reupped in terms of providing some help to those states and local governments. that's something that we're watching and we're concerned about. now, the last third of the recovery act is what i want to talk a little bit about more today. that's the reason blake and doug are here.
