Small businesses in my district are desperate for assistance, but stymied by a lack of funding and unfair treatment by the big banks and the SBA. I support this legislation, because it is absolutely imperative that we get small businesses a new round of funding and support. I am also pleased this bill provides significant funding for hospitals and for expanded testing without which we cannot safely reopen the businesses and other establishments we are trying to save.
