McConnell May Force Vote on ‘Skinny’ Relief Bill

“Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced Tuesday he might try to force his chamber to cast a test vote this week on a new version of his party’s economic recovery plan, putting pressure on Republicans to get behind a measure meant to serve as an election-year contrast with Democrats,” CNN reports.

Bloomberg: “The bill, expected to feature some of the aspects of a $1 trillion proposal put forth by Republicans a month ago, is expected to cost $500 billion to $700 billion.”
