The first federal COVID-19 stimulus package since March is on its way. Several Illinois politicians weighed in on the 900 billion dollar legislation that received last minute approval. On the floor of the U.S. Senate on Monday, Sen. Dick Durbin says that Congress may have to come back to address the ongoing issues with unemployment throughout the country:
“Last week, a group of Democrats and Republicans-including myself-came together and introduced compromise emergency relief legislation in the areas where we could agree. This package did not include everything I think we needed. But after eight months of inaction, it served as the catalyst to move much-needed bipartisan COVID-19 relief forward to help American families and small businesses.
