3 coal companies with ties to the Trump administration got $28 million in coronavirus bailout intended for 'small businesses' via businessinsider

One of Hallador's lobbyists is Scott Pruitt, the former head of the Environmental Protection Agency who was ousted amid scandal in 2018. "Within the agency Scott has done an outstanding job,"from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, an historic $2.1 trillion aid package. The company is using that cash for two months of payroll and other expenses, per The Guardian and Documented.

Melinda Pierce, the legislative director for the Sierra Club, told The Guardian: "The federal money Congress appropriated should be going to help small businesses and frontline workers struggling as a result of the pandemic, not the corporate polluters whose struggles are a result of failing business practices and existed long before Covid-19 entered the public lexicon."

Asked about the major corporations receiving CARES Act cash, Trump told reporters that the White House would consider looking into it.

Think how much $28M would help ppl unemployed due to COVID19 feed their families and pay their rent/mortgage. This is what happens where there is no oversight of the Trump Administration.

More cheap baseless liberal shots

The investigations will take years but we should demand every penny be returned with interest from these corporations who should have never gotten their hands on this much money in the first place. Congress must pass better legislation. Both sides knew better than to allow this.
