(undated) — The latest federal COVID 19 relief package could come up for a vote in Congress by the end of the week. That from Congressman Richard Neal, who tells the State House News Service that a Senate vote on the $1-point-9 trillion dollar measure could happen as early as Friday. Democrats and Republicans are still haggling over the size of the bailout plan, which is expected to include additional funding for state and local governments, new unemployment assistance and $1,400 dollar direct payments to Americans who qualify under certain income guidelines.
