1996 Pro Family Values Resolution Overturned by Greencill County

By a vote of 7-5, Greenville County Council, in a specially called meeting this past Wednesday afternoon, voted in favor a new ordinance that would sunset all resolutions passed before 2016 and that would fix an automatic four-year expiration date on any future resolutions.

Washington Eyeing Second Corona Deal

Last week, Congress passed, and the President signed into law, H.R. 6074, or The Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2020.

While the White House had asked for $2.5 billion, the legislation totaled about $8.3 billion to combat the coronavirus. Specifically, more than $4 billion was allotted for diagnostic tests, treatments, and to help develop and disseminate a vaccine. The Centers for Disease Controls (CDC) was given $2.2 billion to help prevent, prepare, and respond to the disease.
