Indoor dining is returning around the city, but struggling restaurants desperately need another stimulus bill to make it through the next stretch of the pandemic, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D.N.Y.) said Sunday. The Senate majority leader said he’s working to keep thousands of local restaurants afloat by pushing for a $25 billion relief fund baked into the proposed $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus package working its way through Congress. Struggling restaurateurs could apply for relief grants through the Small Business Administration.(Snip) Under the proposal, restaurant groups would be eligible for $10 million grants; individual restaurants could apply for up to $5 million in relief.

"2-year-old boy punched, man attacked in separate Harlem subway station incidents"; maybe after "a woman" and "a man" are taken off the streets, people will feel safe going out again.

Well, D-bag, I have no sympathy for you and your stump for relief. As you said to Texas, "I hope you learned a lesson."

How much will Schumer ask us to pay to hide Goobernor Grandma Killer's Nursing home debacle?

A: Why not just let them open?
B: Why should the taxpayers in the rest of the country pay for keeping Schmucky Scummer's favorite places open?
C: Why hasn't everyone 'Gone Galt'?

when are "sane" people going to realize that the democrats "play" us constantly? this is more of chuckie rhetoric. he has not intention of providing anything and the greatest enemy of the democrats is working people and people who take on the responsibility of life because people like us don't need government.

Our restaurants have been open and making money for 8 or 9 months.
Let NYC pay for damages due to Andy the Butcher's evil, totalitarian actions.

Classic Dem move. Create a crisis and then come to the rescue with other people's money.

Now that so many have already lost everything, this low-life wants to show how compassionate he is...Don't buy it... The plan has to be: destroy Americans and make them dependent on Government so that the corruptocrats maintain POWER!

Lucky for NYC the Dems run the government. Trump would have left them sleeping in the bed they made for themselves.

NO, NO and NO! This is all part of the Bailout for NY. Most of that money would go into Schumer and Cuomo's pockets. And, if NY gets bailout money, why not the rest of the country. NO! Cuomo needs to open NY and see who sinks or swims. Those that survive will have to do it on their own. It's not safe in NY for anyone to go out to eat anyway with all of the Thugs running around attacking people! Get your HOUSE in order before asking for taxpayer money!

Just one in a long list of reasons why the covid bill demands $1.9 trillion with plans to spend only $165 billion on covid relief.

The second shut down of NYC restaurants had nothing to do with cv19 rates rising in the city. It was a p issing match between Killer Cuomo and the idiot mayor. Shut them down just before Christmas even if there was no evidence that cv19 was being spread in restaurants.

Government handouts are the only thing these communists think of. How about letting the businesses open, and letting the consumer decide if they want to patronize them. The amount of the handouts will never replace the profits from being open.

If this is really about helping businesses, how about helping them acquire UV lighting. UV lighting is a proven method to eliminate viruses and bacteria. It's used in almost every hospital, and only one light placed in a central location would eliminate the threat of viruses without hurting people.

Is there anything more in the national interest to hand out "forgivable" loans that will never be repaid to expensive NYC restaurants in which very few of us will ever set foot, while we tighten our own belts dealing with skyrocketing prices of everything and no pay increases?
