Simpson claims political wins in appropriations bills Second District Congressman Mike Simpson WASHINGTON D.C. (KIFI/KIDK)-Idaho’s congressional delegation voted in support of the COVID Relief and Omnibus funding bill that passed Congress last night. “I am relieved that a deal has been reached to help Idaho families and small business during this uncertain time,” said Congressman Mike Simpson. “This bill builds on the extraordinary success of Operation Warp Speed to help get vaccines to all Americans, provides stimulus checks to individuals and families, and enhances the Paycheck Protection Program to help Idaho’s many small businesses. It also completes Congress’ appropriations work for Fiscal Year 2021,” said Representative Mike Simpson (R-ID).
