Thanks to U.S. Sen. Collins for Paycheck Protection Program 

To the Editor; 

I would like to thank U.S. Sen. Susan Collins for once again putting the people of Maine before politics to craft the Paycheck Protection Program, which provides relief for small employers and their valued staff.

During one of the most divisive and stressful times in recent history, Collins did what she does best — she brought stakeholders and members of both parties together to craft real solutions and she was even able to get unanimous support in Congress. When we needed our elected officials the most, she delivered for the people of Knox County and our country.

This new law was crafted with the hospitality industry and small Main Street businesses in mind, all of which have been hit particularly hard, and vitally important to coastal communities like ours. The funding provided by this new program will keep businesses and their employees afloat, so they can all weather this storm together.

Collins has been working with everyone to bring home results. I would urge everyone who is in office, and those seeking office, to take notes from Collins, and rise to this occasion. It’s what we need as a country to get through this pandemic together.
