The bipartisan group of eight Senators, who have taken the lead on COVID relief, released two draft bills this week. The first contains an extension of unemployment benefits and the Paycheck Protection Program, additional food aid including extra money for the Marianas, and funding for schools, housing assistance, airports, and broadband expansion. The second draft bill is a holding place for two, more controversial proposals: funding to help states pay for policing and other basic services and liability protections for businesses. Republicans generally oppose helping states. Democrats are skeptical of shielding businesses that do not protect workers and customers from the coronavirus. Your congressional office is in direct communication with leadership, who are negotiating a final package, and with the bipartisan Senate Gang of 8, advocating for inclusion of the Marianas in all forms of relief. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
