Should receive the same benefits as those in active duty relief efforts. These individuals who are bravely keeping our communities safe in the most destructive event in our lifetime should not have their pay diminished. Additionally i request that the president waive the 30day requirement due to the timesensitive nature of this legislation. Every week that goes by these individuals are further penalized while they work to defeat this pandemic. Id like to thank andy molan and ann pierson and ann stotan for moving so quickly on this and getting this ordinance ready in one week. I introduce a resolution today to call on the federal government to increase funding to the Paycheck Protection Program for oversight and to take steps to ensure that the Financial Institutions work with Small Businesses so they can actually access this vital resource.
