Federal Coronavirus Updates
- U.S. Senate
- Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Bill Cassidy (R-La.) previewed forthcoming legislation that would create a $500 billion fund for states, local governments, U.S. territories and the District of Columbia, which are all grappling with evaporating tax revenue and soaring costs during the outbreak. The money would be broken up into three equal chunks, with funding disbursed based on population size, infection rates and state revenue losses, the senators said. No state would receive less than $2.5 billion. The bill also expands aid eligibility to include counties and towns with populations of 50,000 or greater, after last month’s rescue package set the threshold at 500,000. Meanwhile, state and local leaders are warning of dire consequences absent a massive infusion of federal aid.
