The President signed a COVID-19 relief bill late Sunday night, that spending plan along with the omnibus spending plan will keep the government operating for now. 

Individuals will get $600 checks and enhanced unemployment checks will continue through mid-March. But the current relief bill doesn’t include much aid for local and state governments looking to overcome revenue shortfalls. US Senator Dick Durbin has been blunt in his assessment of states looking for help.

Durbin says another relief bill will be worked on in April of next year and says perhaps by then significant help will come.
