As Congress works on a fourth phase of coronavirus relief, Republican Congressman Tom Reed said on Tuesday that there’s “tremendous” demand for recovery funds.
Reed said that he sees direct assistance to most U.S. citizens and reopening the economy as crucial to this next round of legislation.
“The economic devastation, every day we are shut down, continues to go up exponentially,” he said.
He wants to ensure that funds for local municipalities do not go to state governments, he said.
