WASHINGTON (AP) – The House is reassembling to send President Donald Trump a fourth bipartisan bill to help businesses crippled by the coronavirus. Anchoring the nearly $500 billion measure is a request by the administration to replenish a fund to help small- and medium-size businesses with payroll, rent and other expenses. Supporters are already warning that more money will be needed almost immediately for the business-backed Paycheck Protection Program. But battle lines are forming over the next measure amid growing demands to help out state and local governments, the Postal Service and first responders.
