    This Week in the Senate January 11-14, 2021 The Senate Convenes in 2021 On Monday, January 11, 2021, the first session of the Georgia Senate 156th Georgia General Assembly officially began. While every session brings with it new faces, new Press Office Staff chairmen and new legislative priorities, we had a few Andrew Allison additional changes that made Senate proceedings Director look a little different this year. Specifically, Georgia, and the world as a whole, is continuing to grapple Kessarin Horvath with the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to mitigate Senior Communications Associate potential risks associated with the virus around our legislative session, General Assembly members and Kami Briden staff are being tested at the Capitol twice a week and Communications Associate a robust contact tracing program has been imple- mented when positive cases arise. Additionally, our Emma Johnson committee rooms have been socially distanced and members are required to wear Communications Associate masks while in the Senate Chamber or during committee hearings. Even with these new precautions in place, the Senate will not be deterred in carrying out the Cameren Rogers people’s work. 2021 Communications Aide This year, the Senate welcomed a total of eleven new members who will be ex- Maia Shulte periencing their first legislative session.

Current guidance requires that approximately $1.25 billion of the funding Maine is expected to receive must be used for expenditures that: (1) are necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to COVID–19; (2) were not accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020 for the State or government; and (3) were incurred during the period that begins on March 1, 2020, and ends on December 30, 2020. These significant restrictions, and an inability to specifically use these funds to offset revenue shortfalls, will seriously inhibit Maine’s ability to respond to this crisis. More flexible federal funding will help us continue to provide vital services, prevent further shutdown of key sectors of the state economy and hasten recovery once social distancing measures are relaxed.

    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.
