Support Essential Workers

Provide premium pay for essential workers, offering additional support to those who have and will bear the greatest health risks because of their service in critical sectors.

Provide Government Services

Replace lost public sector revenue, using this funding to provide government services up to the amount of revenue lost due to the pandemic.

Invest in Infrastructure

Invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure, making necessary investments to improve access to clean drinking water, to support vital wastewater and stormwater infrastructure, and to expand affordable access to broadband internet.
