Schumer revealed that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) can do more to actively support the all-out local war against tick-borne diseases. Specifically, Schumer detailed that the feds are sitting on a new surge in CDC dollars--$900M more than last year to be exact—that can be tapped to fight tick-borne diseases across Long Island by helping to track, treat and prevent tick-borne illness. But that – without urgent action – those same dollars could sit in bureaucratic limbo just as Long Island’s tick population explodes this summer.  Specifically, Schumer is pushing to unlock these new federal dollars, from the recently-passed bipartisan federal spending bill  President Trump signed into law—so public health officials across the Island can use them now, not <em>after </em>disease cases and public anxiety spikes.</p>"}}
