I did not see pay for essential workers explicitly addressed in this plan. This is one facet that I feel must be addressed in our community that will additionally help with economic recovery and assisting families that may have been hard hit through the pandemic.
I agree that infrastructure should be a top priority as this is a major issue in our community.
