Some outrageous tidbits in the bill
Mar 25, 2020, 7:26 PM

-$25 Million for House of Representatives raises.
-A body called the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee. No doubt this will be responsible for drawing up the next set of impeachment articles.
Still digging. More to come.

Some of these items are in there now. But, in every case, they specifically say that the funds are to be used for coronavirus preparation and response.
There's nothing in there about sanctuary cities. At least the word "sanctuary" is not in the document...not sure how to look for it otherwise.

Re: Trump has defended the $25 million for Kennedy Center
Mar 26, 2020, 8:20 AM

Although Republicans have been attacking the inclusion of funding for the Kennedy Center, Trump said he personally approved it and that “the Kennedy Center has suffered greatly.” Trump noted that it started out as a Democratic request, adding, “You know, it works that way. The Democrats have treated us fairly. I really believe that we’ve had a very good back-and-forth. And I say that with respect to Chuck Schumer.”
Trump acknowledged, though, that assisting an institution like the Kennedy Center might come across like “not a good sound bite, but that’s the way life works.”

I’m gonna guess that most of the people fighting for their lives on respirators tonight have never set foot in The Kennedy Center.

Let us know when you uncover benefits hotels and casinos get...there’s pork and windfalls aplenty benefiting interests on both sides of the aisle...we should be upset at both parties here.

Thanks for the condescension...can’t get enough of that...and I don’t have a side of the aisle...I am the aisle.
What I am referring to relates to the monies/loans available to small businesses and affiliation rules regarding common ownership of multiple properties and number of employees. Hotels and casinos are exempt from those rules such that each location can basically qualify as a small business.

The bill does call for $25M to the HOR
Mar 26, 2020, 8:08 AM
|
|
But I'd say it's highly unlikely that that money is for raises for members of Congress. The bill certainly doesn't say that. It does say that the money is specifically for coronavirus response.
It seems much more likely to me that it'd be for continuance of pay for the some 10,000 employees of the House and other expenses to keep the House operational during the coronavirus crisis.
$25M for 10,000 employees, for example, would only be $2500 per employee. So it's not a big amount when you think about it that way.
