DC Mayor Angry About COVID-19 Relief Bill Harold Fisher March 26, 2020 at 12:49 pm in CORONAVIRUS, NEWS Tweet DC Mayor Muriel Bowser was visibly angry today during a news conference about the federal COVID-19 relief bill. She complained that the District of Columbia was being treated like a U.S. territory instead of a state. States are expected to receive at least $1.25 billion once the bill passes and is signed by President Trump. DC will only get $500 million. Bowser says she is working with DC Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes-Norton to address this issue in the event of another round of federal relief legislation.
