COVID-19 relief funding bill heads to Senate

State Rep. Steve Carra last week stepped up his effort to get more than $650 million in specifically targeted COVID-19 relief funding into the hands of Michigan families and small businesses.

Carra’s action was in response to a measure taken by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who trimmed nearly $1.5 billion from a plan recently approved by the Legislature, including $405 million that would have gone directly to helping small businesses.

The Carra-backed Senate Bill 114 incorporates various measures in new legislation, requiring only a simple majority of legislators to support them in order to advance.

The proposal now advances to the Senate for further consideration.
