United States Senator Mark Warner Says Rescue Plan Not Perfect But Will Defeat COVID-19

Democratic United States Senator Mark Warner of Virginia says the recently passed American Rescue Plan in Congress is not perfect, but will provide emergency relief to the American people and defeat the COVID-19 pandemic. Warner went on to say the Senate considered the legislation and made some important changes to target aid where it is most badly needed as millions of Americans remain out of work, state and local governments continue to lay off workers and small business struggles to keep their doors open. Warner says with 700 thousand Virginians still lacking high speed internet he has introduced comprehensive broadband infrastructure legislation to expand access to affordable high speed internet by investing 100 billion dollars to build high speed internet infrastructure in un-served and under-served communities.
