According to a report released by the Small Business Administration (SBA) this week, out of the $350 billion allocated for the PPP under the CARES Act, about $246 billion in loans have already been approved, leaving approximately $100 billion which is expected to be exhausted sometime this week.\n\n\u201cThe good news is, we\u2019ve been able to quickly get this money out to Nevada\u2019s small businesses,\u201d said Rep. Amodei. \u201cWhile I\u2019m pleased this rescue-tool has been afforded to some of Nevada\u2019s small businesses, the discrimination against small gaming employers and their workers has left a permanent stain on the U.S. Treasury and the SBA.\n\n\u201cI suggest the Treasury Secretary and SBA Administrator refrain from scheduling any \u2018thank you\u2019 rallies in Nevada any time soon, as their irrational decision to refuse assistance to many deserving small businesses completely flies in the face of specific provisions contained in the CARES Act.\u201d\n\nBackground:", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-06-28T00:02:07Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases/amodei-more-1-billion-relief-provided-nevadas-small-businesses-small-gaming-entities"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8876742795109749, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
