ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- A seventh special session for Minnesota lawmakers is aimed at passing a $216 million relief package.
"While I'm grateful, it's not enough," said Matt Remick, Rochester Athletic Club Owner talking about the portion his business would get. "I mean, it's about the equivalent of one percent of our annual payroll, it covers a little over a month and a half of what our property tax is or what our utilities are but we've been currently shut down for almost a third of the year."
The COVID-19 relief package has about $100 million set aside for restaurants, bars, and health clubs. With another $102 million going to individual counties to distribute to other local businesses in need. The final $14 million will be for conference centers and movie theaters.
