On March 9th, 2021, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer announced that ‘help is on the way’ to Western New York as he detailed specifics from the American Rescue Plan he just led to passage in the U.S. Senate. Using Manna as a backdrop, Schumer explained that New York restaurants are now eligible for their own, DIRECT, federal pandemic relief, thanks to a provision he championed.
