According to WIVB, Governor Andrew Cuomo says he would like to see a 50-percent raise increase for essential workers across the country.

“All those essential works who had to get up every morning to put food on the shelves, and go the hospitals to provide health care, under extraordinary circumstances, and the police officers who had to go out and keep you safe, and the firefighter who still had to go out and fight the fire, those people worked and they went out there and exposed themselves to the virus,” Cuomo said.
