Shopping at small businesses throughout our district is critical to our economy, especially as many of them continue to face uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic. These businesses are the ones we turn to to support our community. From youth sports sponsorships to donations for families in need, they are the backbone of our local economy and the souls of our community. While mega-monopolies like Amazon have thrived during COVID-19 and increased their value by tens of billions of dollars, the small businesses we support throughout our community continue to struggle. Unfortunately, yet predictably, Beacon Hill has failed these businesses, the owners and employees. As we speak, legislators have gone home for the year with no chance of passing legislation to spend the infl ux of funding that has been received from the Federal Government.
