BEYOND THE NUMBERS
In Case You Missed It…
This week at CBPP, we were excited to announce that Ai-jen Poo, President of the National Domestic Workers Alliance and Executive Director of Caring Across Generations, has joined our board of directors. We also focused on health and on state budgets and taxes.
- On health, Farah Erzouki explained why states must act to preserve Medicaid coverage as the end of continuous coverage requirement nears.
- On state taxes, Wesley Tharpe stressed the importance of states protecting or raising revenue as uncertainty looms. On state budgets, we updated a paper by Iris Hinh and Ed Lazere on how states can best use federal fiscal recovery funds.
