ARIZONA For months, members of Congress have dug in their heels, avoided concessions and failed to deliver a much-needed federal relief package aimed at helping cash-strapped Americans in Arizona and others get through the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic.
Now, it appears negotiators in Washington, D.C., might finally be nearing an agreement.
For much of this week, members of Congress worked through the last remaining holdups on a long-delayed $900 billion COVID-19 economic relief package.
