Democratic candidate for governor Ben Downing thinks personal responsibility is overrated when it comes to the coronavirus emergency — and wants people to make sacrifices for "the common good."
Downing, who announced this past weekend that he will run for governor of Massachusetts next year, clarified his take on coronavirus measures in a radio segment for WAMC in December 2020.
Many reports say that the next round of stimulus checks for the American people may only go to those with lower incomes, capping out at $50,000 for individuals and $100,000 for families.
The proposed $1,400 checks for just those groups of people are not sufficient, according to U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
