ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 6 – AAHOA President & CEO Cecil P. Staton issued the following statement in response to the breakdown of stimulus negotiations:
“The breakdown of the negotiations over the next round of economic stimulus represents the absolute dysfunction of our government. Millions of Americans remain out of work. Tens of thousands of small businesses need a lifeline to survive this pandemic and need real relief now. Americans deserve a government that will not forestall vital economic stimulus to score cheap political points. The future of countless small businesses and the millions of jobs they create is at stake. America’s hotel owners call on our elected leaders to negotiate in good faith and broker a deal as soon as possible to help small businesses keep the lights on.”
