out that only a few days remain for Congress this month; with competing
priorities, the chambers might not be able to restore focus on this need until

《365足彩下载》在一篇全国性文章中被引用
Friday from Stateline, a news publication from the Pew Charitable Trusts, on
the crisis so many rural utilities are in as COVID-19 persists. 它是作为
League and its partners the National League of Cities have been advocating
around the clock for assistance from Congress for local 政府 and
utilities hard-hit by the pandemic, as we know that healthy cities, towns and
villages are an important way out of what could otherwise be a prolonged
recession. “农村供水和污水处理系统
have largely been left out of federal and state pandemic relief, and yet they
play critical roles in local economies,” Stateline reports. “家庭依赖于
them, of course, but so do small businesses such as eateries and large
companies such as manufacturers and processing plants.”
这篇聚焦全国的文章放大了
in on North Carolina and taps the League in reporting on how the pandemic has
especially hurt communities that have seen jobs and industry, and subsequently
人口逐年下降. “站在我的立场上听到这个消息很失望
politicians say, ‘You're just asking for more money to fix
an existing problem,'" Stateline quotes of the League’s Scott Mooneyham.
"Well, yeah, there was an existing problem that was created through no
fault of these communities themselves, which you've kind of ignored — and now
你在责怪他们.
“这些都是你的选民，”他补充说. "Help them."
