For Immediate Release: Tuesday 8 January
It is unconscionable that the federal government has shut down over the border wall. Montgomery County is home to thousands of federal employees and contractors. The loss of income not only impacts these workers and their families but our local economy. It’s imperative that the government reopen so these residents can get back to work. I want these workers to know they have my full support during this trying time. To that end, I implore landlords and business-owners to develop compassionate workarounds to help the federal employees and contractors affected by this unacceptable situation.
