Washington Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer’s plan for $25 billion in grants for struggling restaurants will be included in the Covid-19 relief bill that Congress is preparing to pass in the next few weeks.
“Restaurants and bars, like our arts venues, are the places that suffered the most because when people can’t go out, they don’t go to restaurants,” Schumer, D- N.Y., told the Capital Region Chamber of Commerce on Friday. “They need special help, not just the small business help. . It’s one of my very highest priorities.”
