Letter to the editor: We need Wolf's stimulus checks

Pennsylvania citizens: I am writing to prompt you to write or call your state senator and representative regarding the $2,000 stimulus checks Gov. Tom Wolf wishes to give all Pennsylvania citizens.

Wolf would like to give every Pennsylvania citizen who makes $80,000 or less a check for $2,000. I wrote to the governor asking where these checks were. I got a response that said he wants this to happen, but it will not unless our state legislators pass it. So far, they have not.

This money, Wolf assures, is extra money that if not used by 2024 will go back into the state pot to be distributed however your legislators wish. To their own interests.

I know there are many people who are hurting financially. Food, gasoline, housing, utilities — everything is going up.

If you back the governor and contact your legislators, I believe we have a chance of having this passed. This will be the third or fourth time the governor has presented this to the Legislature for approval, and he has just done so again.

I think this is very important to Pennsylvania residents and their families, whom the governor is attempting to help.
