Date: February 4, 2021
Subject: Duplicating Pandemic Spending in the Restaurant Industry
Description: Wicker (R-MS) and Sinema (D-AZ) amendment to the congressional budget which duplicates COVID-19 relief efforts by creating a special restaurant grant fund. Even though the restaurant industry is already eligible for numerous benefits under the so-called American Rescue Plan and its $1.9 trillion in spending, this amendment is expected to provide another $25 billion in taxpayer-funded grants to the industry. ACU opposes run-away spending and instead believes Congress should prioritize reopening the economy, especially considering the wide-scale distribution of the COVID-19 "vaccine".
Result: Amendment Agreed to, 90-10
Names ordered: By yea/nay Order alphabetically Order by party Order by state
