“Tell me how this is fair to the American people”–Duncan
The Third District’s Jeff Duncan cast a no vote in the House on the $1.9 trillion dollar COVID relief bill, which arrives today in the Senate. The measure does not include a 15-dollar-an-hour wage boost. Rep. Duncan, Republican from Laurens, notes that the House bill passed without any support from his party. Although the bill includes $1,400 payments to Americans to help brace from the economic effects, Duncan believes it’s a misnomer to refer to the legislation as a “relief and rescue” plan. Duncan accuses Democrats of packing pet projects unrelated to virus relief.
