Florida Senator Rick Scott voted no on the $900 billion COVID-19 relief bill, which includes checks for you and help for small businesses. But Scott says the bill is full of wasteful spending and handouts.
It’s not a secret that businesses and people everywhere are hurting due to the economic impacts COVID-19 has caused. But, some local lawmakers do not believe a $900 billion bill is the answer.
Representative Spencer Roach calls the bill an insult. “This bill is an insult to the American people. and really encapsulates everything that is broken and out of touch with Washington D.C.,” he said.
