I downloaded the 591 page Covid Relief Package for some casual reading. Look what I found on page 45! The scumbag Democrats trying to sneak the $15 Minimum wage law through amongst all the other PORK that is typical of a Democrat Omnibus spending bill. I'm still reading but I haven't seen much yet for direct Covid relief. I've heard only 10% of the bill is actually for Covid relief.
