By Josh Israel -May 20, 2020 2:15 PM
The Senate majority leader has said the House-passed HEROES Act is 'dead on arrival.'
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is blocking a key coronavirus relief bill that would provide billions in aid to his home state of Kentucky, which has experienced massive revenue loss due to the pandemic.
The Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act would provide more than $7 billion to help Kentucky's struggling state and local governments. But McConnell has vowed to block the bill from even coming up for a vote.
The $3 trillion-plus legislation, which includes nearly a trillion in direct aid to state and local governments, passed the House of Representatives on Friday on a mostly party-line vote.
McConnell has already ridiculed the emergency bill as "not serious" and declared it "dead on arrival" in the Senate.

This is to the BEST of his ability?
Sure, Kentucky voters deserve him, but the rest of us don't.
