HOLLAND, Michigan — Congressman Bill Huizenga is home in Holland right now. I asked him if he was going to Washington soon for the vote on the $2 trillion stimulus bill, which the White House and Congress agreed to this afternoon. At the time, he said he didn't know.
It appears the senate will be voting first. Huizenga does have some reservations. He wants no part of any "Green New Deal" as a part of the bill. He also doesn't appear to want any guarantees of absentee voting for the November election. He wants it to be about the current COVID-19 crisis.
I also asked him what he thought about President Trump wanting the country back to normal by Easter.
Ultimately, Huizenga says it depends on what the country looks like in a few weeks. And, different parts of the country may be ready, others may not be.
Huizenga is planning on holding a telephone town hall on Thursday, March 26 to discuss the coronavirus pandemic with his constituents in the Second Congressional District, as well as how the relief package coming down from Capitol Hill will impact Americans.
The town hall will start shortly after 5:45 p.m.
