“I can't believe what I am hearing, that this bill is political, that we have to wait, and that our constituents don't need help. I want my colleagues on the other side to tell my constituents in Florida who can't access their unemployment benefits that they have to wait. Tell the people who don't have food to feed their families that they have to wait. Each day that we delay, our constituents don't get the help they need. This is a bipartisan bill, and local municipalities are in dire need of those funds. Monroe County and Miami-Dade County are going to get the money they need to pay for our heroes--firefighters, teachers, and educators.”
