Legislative leaders need to improve our state’s paltry, short-term unemployment benefits when they go back in session next month. In order to boost our economy, we have to do better supporting the North Carolinians unemployed through no fault of their own. https://t.co/fhXAhGBKcA — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Facing a hurricane, a deadly tornado and an earthquake in the same week reminds us that North Carolinians need to be prepared for all kinds of emergencies. Now is the time to go over your emergency plans and include face masks in your supply kits. https://t.co/aBNbOZu3B0 https://t.co/TNRlnGIoGw — PolitiTweet.org

Businesses and nonprofits have had to make tough choices during this pandemic for the safety of their employees and customers. Funding from the Job Retention Grant Program will help companies working to pay their staff even if they’ve had a drop in sales. https://t.co/eBLq7dfQwN — PolitiTweet.org

Not only will our efforts boost the economy, they can save your life or the life of a loved one. Let’s keep on this course, North Carolina. Look out for one another, wear your mask, and stick with it. Fighting this virus is up to every single one of us. — PolitiTweet.org

To visit family and friends, more people are gathering outdoors and keeping their distance. As we remain paused in Safer At Home Phase 2 and school goes back into session, now is the time to double down on these efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This virus won’t go away on its own. North Carolinians have made sacrifices big and small to help slow the spread and protect each other. More people are wearing masks, which is exactly what the health experts and smart business owners want to see. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

It’s encouraging to see these trends continue to be stable. We know that we need more testing. Test results are coming back faster now. That’s a good thing. If you think you need a test, talk to your health care provider or visit the @NCDHHS website to find a free testing site. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

To help schools teach effectively and safely, I have directed $95 million in federal funds to help with more school nurses and counselors as well as educational support for students at risk of falling behind. — PolitiTweet.org

In addition, we've set up a child care hotline to help families find care for school-aged children. This resource can help make sure children have safe, reliable care. If you need help, the number to call is 888-600-1685. — PolitiTweet.org

I also ask the General Assembly to improve the paltry, short-term state benefits that are now provided to those unemployed through no fault of their own. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

We're also trying to get help for those left behind by the loss of the federal unemployment benefits that ended last month. Congress should act to give people certainty on these benefits, and I encourage Washington to set aside partisanship and get the job done. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

I know that this pandemic has made things tough for many of our states businesses and nonprofits. It’s important that we support them as they seek to do right by their employees and their customers. — PolitiTweet.org

Businesses are eligible for grants of up to $250,000 if they haven’t already gotten support from another program like the Paycheck Protection Program. The deadline for applications to this program is September 1, and we’ll be sharing a link for businesses to apply or learn more. — PolitiTweet.org

While no one wants violations to end in arrests, it’s important for the health and safety of our communities that we all do our part. Also important is helping people and businesses who have been hit hard by the economic downturn. — PolitiTweet.org

We're making progress, and I am encouraged. But we have to keep working to fight the disease, make our schools strong and rebuild our economy. Staying safe and halting virus spread must continue to be priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

We continue to pray for those we’ve lost. Though every loss is painful, we especially grieve with the town of Washington, which lost its mayor, Mac Hodges. — PolitiTweet.org

So very sorry to lose Mac Hodges, the great Mayor of Washington, NC, to Covid-19 related complications. I’m grateful to have worked with such a strong leader and ECU supporter who made a real difference in the lives of many. - RC https://t.co/TxlxjY8FyH — PolitiTweet.org

The General Assembly had the chance to help North Carolinians out of work as we faced the highest unemployment rates we’ve seen in decades but didn't. Legislative leaders and the federal government need to take action and provide sufficient, reliable unemployment benefits. https://t.co/t55Pv6VdMn — PolitiTweet.org

While earthquakes aren’t the kind of natural disaster we’re used to seeing here in our state, North Carolinians continue to show resiliency & help one another in the recovery process. Today, Gov.

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

A hurricane on top of a pandemic is double trouble. But our emergency management leaders were prepared, and North Carolinians have shown their strength and resilience through both of these crises. https://t.co/IUHKEZaFIJ — PolitiTweet.org
