MURRAY â Many people and leaders of institutions across the United States were breathing a collective sigh of relief Monday morning after President Donald Trump signed the new COVID-19 relief package into law. One of the local entities eagerly anticipating the billâs signing was Murray State University.
Last week, congressional leaders agreed to a $900 billion relief package as part of a larger, nearly 5,600-page bill to fund the federal government through the end of the current fiscal year on Sept. 30, 2021. Trump subsequently threatened to veto the bill, with one of his complaints being that the $600 direct payments to individuals did not go far enough and should be $2,000 instead. However, the president eventually signed the bill into law Sunday night. The Democratic-controlled House also voted Monday evening to increase the $600 payments to $2,000, but it is not known whether the Republican-controlled Senate would take up the bill.
