THE
THE MASSIVE TWO- TRILLION DOLLAR STIMULUS PACKAGE IS
NOW HEADING TO THE
HOUSE.
SENATORS PASSED THE
BILL TONIGHT - AFTER
SOME OPPOSITION TO A
MEASURE ON
UNEMPLOYMENT
INSURANCE.
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE. IT'S BEEN A BIG WEEK--
WITH DETAILS CHANGING
BY THE MINUTE.
WE CAUGHT UP WITH
IDAHO SENATOR JIM
RISCH ABOUT THE
MASSIVE STEP-- TO EASE
THE BURDEN OF THE
CORONAVIRUS.
SENATOR JIM RISCH JOINS
US
US FROM
US FROM CAPITOL HILL... WHERE THE SENATE JUST GOT DONE VOTING ON
THAT BILL. THANK FOR
JOINING US SENATOR
RISCH.
WE HAVE RECEIVED A LOT
OF QUESTIONS FROM
IDAHOANS ABOUT THIS
STIMULUS MONEY. CAN
YOU EXPLAIN HOW MUCH
MONEY WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT? WHAT THAT
WOULD BE FOR SINGLE
PEOPLE, MARRIED
COUPLES, AND CHILDREN?
IS THE GOVERNMENT
USING OUR TAX RETURNS
AND EARNINGS FROM
2018 TO GAGE THAT?
WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE
WHO ARE ON DISABILITY
OR SOCIAL SECURITY?
WILL IT BE ONE LUMP
SUM, OR WE HEARD TALK
ABOUT TWO PAYMENTS,
ONE IN APRIL AND ONE IN
MARCH?
LAY OUT WHAT THIS
PACKAGE MEANS FOR
IDAHO'S SMALL
BUSINESSES? HOW CAN
THEY GET HELP?
AS YOU KNOW THE
GOVERNOR HAS ISSUED A
STAY AT HOME ORDER FOR
THE ENTIRE STATE. HAVE
YOU BEEN IN CONTANT
WITH GOVERNOR LITTLE
ABOUT THE COVID-19
SITUATION HERE, AND THE
STATE RESPONSE TO IT?
STILL
STILL TO
STILL TO COME ON THIS SECOND HALF HOUR OF THE NEWS AT 10...
WHILE THEY'RE A
HEALTHY OPTION... A
VIRAL VIDEO BENDS THE
TRUTH ON THE BENEFITS
STILL
STILL TO
STILL TO COME ON THIS STATE RESPONSE TO IT?
