KLCC s Brian Bull reports on Oregon Democratic Congressman Peter DeFazio s remarks re: COVID-19 guidance under President Joe Biden compared to former President Donald Trump.
DeFazio made his remarks after touring the University of Oregon’s COVID-19 Monitoring and Assessment Program, which received $4 million in federal COVID relief money last fall. He says more assistance will come under President Joe Biden than with his predecessor.
“With the Trump administration, Hey, this is going to go away magically, .oops, it didn’t, did it? said DeFazio. So…the federal government has not provided clear direction for the states. It has provided only when Congress has pushed it, provided assistance for the states. And a lot of the states are strapped for revenue.”
