Issue Position: Federal Covid-19 Stimulus Oversight

Issue Position

The Federal government has allocated $1.9 billion to the state of South Carolina to assist in Covid-19 Pandemic relief. The responsibility for how those stimulus dollars will be spent rests in the hands of the General Assembly. I am vitally interested that the funds are spent wisely. I want to see that some of those dollars are used to replenish our Unemployment Trust Fund that has been hit so hard recently and additionally I want to see that it is used to assist those familiess and small businesses that have been hit hardest. I would also like to see some of it used as an incentive for new entrepreneurial businesses that might be started by people who were economically dislodged by this event.
