Top business leaders line up behind Biden's COVID-19 aid plan
More than 150 New York-based CEOs and other business leaders are expressing support for President Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID-19 aid package, the American Rescue Plan.
In a joint letter released by the Partnership for New York City on Wednesday, the CEOs of major brands including Zillow, McGraw-Hill and Squarespace called on congressional leaders to pass the plan immediately.
"Previous federal relief measures have been essential, but more must be done to put the country on a trajectory for a strong, durable recovery. Congress should act swiftly and on a bipartisan basis to authorize a stimulus and relief package along the lines of the Biden-Harris administration's proposed American Rescue Plan," the business executives wrote.
"The American Rescue Plan mobilizes a national vaccination program, delivers economic relief to struggling families, and supports communities that were most damaged by the pandemic," they argue in the letter, first obtained by CNN.
