Stimulus Plan Seen as Boost to New York Businesses, Residents, but Lacking for Local Governments

New York Senator Chuck Schumer said the most recent stimulus bill is a survival bill, not a long term plan for economic recovery.
“There’s all different kind of dollars. Is it enough? No. And the thing I most regret is (Mitch) McConnell blocked state and local aid. We have found some other ways to get the localities some aid through education, transportation and vaccine distribution (assistance).”
That includes $5 billion to help New York schools, $4 billion for mass transit systems, and $1.3 billion in rental assistance that will all come through local governments. Schumer adds the unemployment insurance extension will help one million New Yorkers who would have seen benefits dry up next week. He says this is less a stimulus plan and more an emergency survival bill. ....

On Monday, Sen. Schumer detailed how the new round of aid will include support for local governments, schools, public health departments, vaccine distribution and COVID-19 tests, as well as rent assistance, eviction relief, support for small- and medium-sized businesses and direct assistance to individuals.
But even as he described the far-reaching aid package, which is the second-largest in American history, second only to the CARES Act, Sen. Schumer stressed that this is only a stopgap measure, and more support is desperately needed. ....
