Senator Braun
(Washington, D.C.) – During Governor Eric Holcomb’s media briefing on Wednesday Senator Mike Braun joined Gov. Holcomb to update Hoosiers and Indiana small businesses on the federal resources available.
"All along my priority has been how to target the most resources to the folks that actually need it," Senator Braun said of the COVID relief package, noting that Congress's dysfunction led to a federal spending bill filled with pork and wasteful spending attached to the targeted COVID relief bill. "Sadly Congress does not manage its budget as we do back in Indiana, and has ended up with trillion-dollar deficits because of it."
Senator Braun noted that the COVID relief package includes important resources for farmers and schools, as well as $300 weekly additional federal unemployment. Changes have also been made to the Paycheck Protection Program to help Hoosier small business owners and workers.
Senator Braun is encouraging Hoosiers to visit his website to read resource guides with information about how the federal funds and loans available to unemployed Hoosiers, small businesses, non-profits, farmers, and other organizations.
