THAT IS THE WORST HIT AREA FROM
SOME OF THE RAIN WE HAD LAST
NIGHT.
THANKS BILL REH, C BACK IN
A LITTLE BIT, HAPPENING TO THE
GOVERNOR COOPER EXPECTED TO
OUTLINE HIS PLAN TO EASE
RESTRICTIONS ON THE STATES
REOPENING.
THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE
BIGGEST NEWS OF THE DAY, COMING
OUT OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
CBS 17 HOLDEN KURWICKI JOINS US
LIVE AT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
GETTING ANSWERS ABOUT POTENTIAL
STIMULUS CHECKS FROM THE STATE
LEVEL.
HOLDEN.
Reporter: LAURA, EXACTLY
RIGHT, TODAY EXPECTING TO HEAR
ABOUT TWO PROPOSALS THAT COULD
PUT MONEY BACK INTO YOUR
POCKETS.
THE FIRST OF WHICH WOULD BE A
STIMULUS CHECK FOR PARENTS.
SECOND OF WHICH WOULD INCREASE
UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS.
STATE LAWMAKERS ARE PLANNING TO
DISCUSS BOTH PLANS THROUGHOUT
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
FINAL STIMULUS CHECK AREN'T
FINAL BUT COULD BE AT LEAST
$200.
AND IMPLEMENT CHECKS AND
INCREASE BY $50 WEEK.
DEMOCRATS WANTED THE NUMBER TO
BE HIGHER.
WE SIMPLY HAVE TO LOOK FOR
WAYS TO HELP SUPPLEMENT THEIR
INCOME RIGHT NOW.
UNTIL THE GOVERNORS ABLE, AT
LEAST WILLING TO HELP FOLKS GET
BACK TO WORK.
WITH 8 1/2% UNEMPLOYMENT IT
IS POURING RAIN OUT THERE.
WE NEED TO HELP JOBLESS WORKERS
THEY NEED A LIFELINE.
IF APPROVED THE STIMULUS
CHECKS AND UNEMPLOYMENT
