We write today to offer our enthusiastic endorsement of the budget reconciliation language providing $350 billion in flexible aid for our states, cities, counties, tribes, and territories. We encourage the House and Senate to swiftly pass this urgently needed aid. Many states and localities have seen their revenues plummet as a result of the pandemic even as costs have risen sharply to fight the virus and to help millions of struggling people and businesses. State revenues are down some 7 percent compared to before the pandemic even as the need for state services has skyrocketed with one in three adults struggling to meet household expenses. Meanwhile, many cities and counties have been hit even harder. The average city with falling revenues has seen collections drop by 21 percent, even as costs have soared, and counties face similar conditions.AASA, The School Superintendents Association Accelerate Indiana Municipalities (Aim) ACCESS AFL-CIO AFSCME Ain Dah Yung Center Alabama Alliance of YMCAs Alabama Visual Arts Network Albert Lea Family YMCA Alexandria Area YMCA Alliance for Retired Americans Alliance for Strong Families and Communities Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits Alliance of Massachusetts YMCAs Alliance Of NYS YMCAS American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education American Federation of Teachers American Indian Center of Indiana, Inc American Indian Child Resource Center American Indian Community House American Indian OIC American Indians in Texas American Library Association American Network of Community Options & Resources (ANCOR) American Planning Association American Public Human Services Association American Public Power Association American Public Works Association (APWA) Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) Americans for Indian Opportunity Americans for Tax Fairness Americans for the Arts Americans for the Arts Action Fund Arizona Association of Counties Arts Alliance Illinois Arts North Carolina Arts Wisconsin ArtsNYS Association of Art Museum Directors Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO) Association of Community Tribal Schools (ACTS) Association of County Commissioners of Oklahoma Association of County Commissions of Alabama Association of Educational Service Agencies Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies Association of Minnesota Counties Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO) Association of Washington Cities Autistic Self Advocacy Network Battle Born Progress Bend the Arc Jewish Action Bend the Arc: Champaign-Urbana Big Cities Health Coalition Black Belt Community Foundation, Inc.
