AGA Statement on New COVID-19 Relief Measures
2 minutos de lectura
(Washington).- American Gaming Association (AGA) President and CEO Bill Miller issued the following statement today in response to Congress passing new COVID-19 relief measures:
“The American Gaming Association is encouraged that Congress has agreed on bipartisan legislation, which provides important relief for many Americans and businesses that continue to struggle as a result of the pandemic.
While this much-needed aid is a significant step, it is imperative that the next Congress act swiftly on additional measures to address the economic challenges facing our nation and our industry.
Gaming communities, companies, and employees across the country have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic—enduring mandated closures and operating restrictions, investing heavily in health and safety protocols, and playing a key role in stopping the community spread of COVID. We’ve met these challenges with resolve and resilience.
Congress must do their part to provide meaningful relief for businesses and their communities, whose vitality are inextricably linked. Gaming companies support nearly two million American jobs, provide critical tax revenue, and serve as economic engines in communities all across America.
The AGA looks forward to working with the 117th Congress and the Biden Administration in the new year to provide tax relief that will save gaming jobs and alleviate costs, liability protections that advance responsible reopening, incentives for reviving travel and tourism, and essential support for tribal nations.”
