Financial assistance for individuals, school districts and communities in Northwest Indiana, whose lives and operations have been disrupted for more than a year by the COVID-19 pandemic, soon will be on its way.

It previously passed the Democratic-controlled Senate 50-49. Not a single Republican in either chamber supported the measure, including U.S. Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., and U.S. Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., who both voted no. In contrast, U.S. Rep. Frank J. Mrvan, D-Highland, said he was honored to vote yes on a proposal âthat will provide direct and tangible investments to address the pandemic, provide much needed relief for our families, and grow our economy.â
