Md. Small Business Leader Sounds Alarm on Democrats’ Budget Reconciliation Package

The framework of the current $3.5 trillion federal budget reconciliation package recently released brings new hope for those of us ready for a new generation of policies to uplift our poorest communities out of poverty and turn the page to a new chapter focused on post-pandemic recovery. And as Congress attempts to pass a record infrastructure deal and a budget that works for everyone, I am very optimistic about this future. However, I am worried that one potential provision will only counteract much of the bill’s historic achievements.
