“Today, the governor began outlining a broad, ambitious agenda. Some of his ideas are commendable. However, it’s important to remember that our state was facing a multi-billion dollar budget deficit even before COVID-19 rocked our economy and decimated our finances. We should be singularly focused on distributing the vaccine, providing aid to our small businesses and workers and getting our economy moving in the right direction again. That’s going to be challenging enough,” said Ra.
