Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told "Bill Hemmer Reports" Wednesday that he has no plans to pass legislation to provide additional federal funding to state and local governments who he said are trying to "take advantage" of the coronavirus crisis to get help with their ballooning deficits.
"We are not interested in revenue replacement for state governments," McConnell said. "We're interested in trying to help them with anything related to the coronavirus ... [but] we are not interested in solving their pension problems and all these other things that they would like for us to finance."
Earlier Wednesday, McConnell announced that he is open to allowing states to declare bankruptcy rather than sending additional federal money to governors who have been imploring Washington for urgent fiscal help.

What about well endowed universities???
Not one dime of federal money should go to bailing out the states who overpromised on public employee pensions.
Hold on tight, Mitch. Those shysters want everything they can scam out of other taxpayers.
Finally...Turtle found his backbone again.
At least he is smarter than Romney or McCain.
That’s one of the big reasons they’re not opening up. They think they’ll get more federal dollars by staying closed and declaring more of a hardship as a result.
Stick with it Mitch....that’s the RIGHTEOUS position. ZERO FINANCIAL AID TO STATE & LOCAL GOVERNMENTS! Now stay that course, Senator.
Illinois, et al are just chomping at the bid to let us taxpayers pay for all their mistakes in the past re: union pensions, etc.
Not one penny of taxpayer money should go towards helping these financial idiots.
Good for you Mitch. Keep it up.
“”At least he is smarter than Romney or McCain.””
Well, after all
McCain has assumed room temperature
and
Mitt’s IQ is BELOW room temperature
so not a big hurdle there
p
Mitch done good.
I am glad he is on to them.
Mitch is doing some valuable things for Americans.
