Pittsburgh, PA − April 17, 2020 – Senate Democratic Leader Jay Costa issued the following statement regarding Governor Wolf’s Plan for Relief, Reopening, and Recovery in PA:
The Governor has presented us with a robust, thoughtful plan forward. I appreciate his ongoing consultation with medical and public health experts, like Dr. Rachel Levine – and that expertise is clearly reflected in the Plan for PA. We need to prioritize health and safety as we look toward economic recovery, and the treatment of our front line workers is a large part of that. We all want to get back to a semblance of normal business operations, but rushing into it would undo all of the progress we’ve made in flattening the curve. Governor Wolf’s remarks and plan today put all of that into consideration, and I look forward to supporting this path legislatively.
