BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The new COVID-19 relief plan made it to the Senate, but there may be a delay if lawmakers canât come to a compromise, which could delay the issuing of stimulus checks.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says the chamber will stay in session through the weekend to vote on the new trillion-dollar coronavirus relief plan, but if changes are made, that means stimulus checks wonât come as quickly as expected. The country is closing in on a year since the pandemic started, and already, folks are on their third round of stimulus checks. However, people in Baton Rouge are still going through the motions trying to stay afloat.
