By DARCY COSTELLO
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth said he is confident Congress will send funding relief to cities and states struggling with steep coronavirus-related drops in revenue.
He called it "virtually certain to happen," despite hesitance from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Yarmuth told The Courier Journal on Wednesday that the ability to provide basic services is "where the crisis is right now" for cities and states across the country seeing sales and payroll tax declines as the economy has shut down.
