California Governor Newsom has announced a West Coast unified state effort also to bring back their economies….
While Trump talks about such actions?
It will NOT be up to him…
It will be the Governors…
Six Northeast governors will form a working group to come up with a plan to restart the regional economy, they announced on Monday.
Speaking on a conference call, the governors of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Rhode Island agreed that it was essential to work together in developing plans to reopen businesses, schools and public transportation after weeks on lockdown.
The announcement came as President Donald Trump asserted on Monday afternoon that he, not the governors, would decide when stay-at-home orders could be lifted. And it coincided with an announcement from California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee that they are working on a “shared approach”to restarting the West Coast economy.
“Everyone is very anxious to get out of the house, get back to work, get the economy moving. Everyone agrees with that,” said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who presided over the conference call from the state Capitol in Albany. “What the art form is going to be here is doing that smartly, and doing that productively, and doing that in a coordinated way, doing that in coordination with the other states that are in the area and doing it as a cooperative effort where we learn from each other and we share information.”…

Cuomo said he was open to coordinating with additional neighboring states, such as Massachusetts and Vermont, but added that there was a balance with “the complexity and unwieldiness of coming up with a plan that we can agree on relatively quickly.”…
