Joe Buscaino: “The fact of the matter is, cities are crying for help, regardless if you live in a city of 5,000 population or 5 million…”

If we don't move on a relief package for cities, towns, and villages across the country, we are going to start furloughing or laying off our essential city employees from firefighters, police officers, to sanitation workers.

On behalf of cities, towns, and villages across the country, we encourage our colleagues in Congress to pass the COVID Relief Act.

We must do better.

Together, Congress and America's city communities must keep up the pace this year to respond, recover, and rebuild from the COVID-19 pandemic.
