Central Pa. reacts to verdict at trial over George Floyd s death
Tina Nixon is the senior vice president, mission effectiveness, and chief diversity officer at PinnacleHealth Hospitals. Her reaction to the verdict:“Our work continues … we must address racism at all levels in all industries. This is a movement not a moment. The spotlight is on us to make changes.”
U.S. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland s statement following the verdict: The jury in the state trial of Derek Chauvin has fulfilled its civic duty and rendered a verdict convicting him on all counts. While the state’s prosecution was successful, I know that nothing can fill the void that the loved ones of George Floyd have felt since his death. The Justice Department has previously announced a federal civil rights investigation into the death of George Floyd. This investigation is ongoing.

The Justice Department continues to intensify its crackdown on COVID-19 relief program fraud, a clear indication that any individual or business that has benefited from the government aid should expect enhanced scrutiny from various government agencies in the coming months and possibly years. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, enacted in March 2020, was intended to provide emergency financial assistance to those suffering economic losses related to COVID-19. The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program and Unemployment Insurance (UI) programs, included in the Act, have undoubtedly helped millions of deserving people and businesses survive the pandemic. However, the CARES Act has also provided an opportunity for fraudsters to take advantage of government assistance.

Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra is among federal officials weighing in on the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd. We at the Department of Health and Human Services stand with marginalized communities to provide support and do our part to ensure that health and well-being are treated as a right and our systems are actively furthering justice, Becerra said. We must meet the challenge to further justice and equity. At HHS, I will do everything I can to tackle racism as a serious public health threat that affects our mental and physical well-being.
