  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.

We appreciate this opportunity to comment on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s proposals to amend the procedural requirements and resubmission thresholds for shareholders to file proposals for inclusion in corporate proxies and to impose certain requirements on independent proxy advisors. The Existing Federal Shareholder Proposal Process is Fair, Efficient and Working Well The ability of shareowners to file shareholder proposals is a fundamental investor right first established by the federal government in 1942 for reasons that remain vital today. State laws provide certain shareowner rights – including to receive certain information about company performance, to vote up or down on certain fundamental actions initiated by company management and the board of directors, and to assert claims in the aftermath of perceived wrongdoing.

Cuomo and Vice Chair Asa Hutchinson Statement on Meeting With President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris WASHINGTON – New York Governor and National Governors Association Chairman Andrew M. Cuomo and Arkansas Governor and NGA Vice Chairman Asa Hutchinson issued the following statement after meeting with President Biden and Vice President Harris earlier today: “Governors from across the country and the political spectrum have said for months that flexible and direct aid to state and local governments is essential for our continued front-line response to the COVID-19 crisis and our national economic recovery. During our Oval Office meeting today with President Biden, Vice President Harris, and a bipartisan group of Governors and mayors from across the country, the President and his team made clear that they recognize and appreciate how critical this targeted relief is for our ability to recover from this pandemic. “We thank President Biden, Vice President Harris, and their team for a productive meeting and their support, and call on Congress to ensure sufficient state and local aid is included in the final relief package. The finish line of this pandemic is in sight, and this support will give states and territories the resources we need to reach it, while continuing to provide the essential services our constituents rely on.” ### Founded in 1908, the National Governors Association (NGA) is the bipartisan organization of the nation’s 55 Governors.

    May 12, 2020 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: We the undersigned have been working tirelessly to uphold our oaths of office and protect our constituents from the health and economic impacts of the novel coronavirus. COVID-19 has caused a global crisis on a scale we have not seen in generations; we fear that the economic disruption caused by this pandemic will have disastrous effects across the entire country in the coming weeks, months, and years. Working people are on the frontlines of this pandemic and are doing their jobs during this difficult time. Healthcare providers and workers are continuing to care for the sick. Janitors are still keeping buildings clean while airport workers are risking their health to help Americans travel safely. Public employees are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the services they rely upon. Many working families in our communities were struggling to make ends meet even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. With income inequality on the rise and the cost of living continuing to increase, many Americans were forced to work multiple jobs just to cover their basic needs. Our nation’s largest and wealthiest corporations, who are responsible for the inequality and economic vulnerability of millions, must now take responsibility for the health of our nation, for the communities on whose work they depend, and for the long-term financial health and security of all workers in our country. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, however, many currently middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own.
