Congressional members call on Trump for help
Tennessee's U.S. congressional members on Monday urged President Donald Trump to move quickly and approve Gov. Bill Lee's request that the state be declared a "major disaster" area to let it qualify for emergency federal funding to fight the spread of the coronavirus and deal with its impact. In their letter to the president,they say while last week's congressional approval of a national $2.2 billion response package addressed a number of financial issues and state and local governments problems in containing the pandemic, Tennessee's response has come at a huge cost. They point out that Lee "has now asked for further specific assistance under the nation's disaster relief laws, and we support his request. The coronavirus pandemic has already forced the state to take unprecedented actions to protect Tennesseans and slow the spread of the virus.
