Mayor Walsh Takes Appeal for Federal Help Directly to U.S. Congressional Leadership

Mayor makes urgent request of Washington for aid to states and local governments

Mayor Walsh sent a letter today to U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi urging timely action on federal help to the City of Syracuse. The Mayor said only direct aid to Syracuse could avoid harmful actions to offset lost revenue and growing expenses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
