II. Federal Update and Further Stimulus

On Tuesday afternoon, Senate Majority Leader McConnell blocked consideration of the CASH Act, which would provide an additional $1,400 stimulus check for a total of $2,000. The CASH Act passed the House of Representatives on Monday by a vote of 275-134. Senator Sanders has stated he will object, delaying a planned Wednesday vote to override President Trump’s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act until an up-or-down vote on the CASH Act occurs.

III. Show Off Your City

You are invited to send us photos of how local residents and officials worked and played and thrived in these pandemic days.

A winner will be selected and receives a free League publication of their choice.
