Sen. Susan Collins proposes COVID-19 assistance changes

During debate on the floor of the U.S. Senate ahead of a two week recess, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) says she supports decreasing the maximum number of employees for businesses to be eligible for assistance to 300 employees, rather than 500 employees, with a special provision for seasonal employers because she believes the government must stretch the remaining $130 billion in the Paycheck Protection Program as far as possible.
