U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19, expressed frustration to constituents Wednesday about Congressâ expected decision to omit local aid from the next COVID-19 relief package before renewing his call for lawmakers to reach consensus on additional pandemic assistance before the end of the year.
Delgado held his 49th town hall, this one virtual, on Facebook Live on Wednesday night from Washington â his second in one week. The congressman fielded questions from dozens of constituents for more than 45 minutes, answering some queries presubmitted before the event or in the comments on the Facebook Live video feed.
Legislative leaders tentatively agreed in a closed-door meeting late Tuesday state and local aid provisions and business liability should be set aside for the next debate over aid expected to continue in the new year.
