And189 GOP that need to go, since they took aid in the past. I think the pressure of not passing any aid is what go the other GOP to vote yes. What they're doing to one of the most important economic areas of the country is nothing less than sabotage. I hope this indicatesa group of representatives that can be called to vote for progressive measures, although I doubt it. The stench of the GOP delay on this relief was strong.
