Gov. Kim Reynolds: Heartless
Des Moines, Iowa – Progress Iowa Executive Director Matt Sinovic issued the following statement in response to Governor Kim Reynolds announcing that Iowa will end its participation in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefit programs, which as of April, benefited about 33,000 Iowans:
“The Governor is putting her corporate pals ahead of Iowans in our time of need. And this is hardly the first time. She has made it easier for landlords to evict tenants, turned down resources to protect kids in schools, and bungled the state’s response to the pandemic.”
“Too many Iowans are out of work because of the crisis the Governor made worse. And now she has the audacity to cut off a life line when we need it most, because her millionaire and billionaire backers demand it.”
