US States Band Together for
Economy Reopening Plans On the west coast, California Governor Gavin Newsom
is leading a coalition joined by Oregon
and Washington. The east coast's group consists of seven states:
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Combined, the 10 states make
up nearly 40 percent of
America's economy. Two of them, California and New York,
are responsible for 23 percent. According to Reuters, all of
them are operating separately
from the White House. The plans come after President Trump declared
he had ultimate authority on when parts
of the economy should open back up. Based on specific needs, New York Governor
Andrew Cuomo says each state will make
their own reopening plans in the end.
