House and Senate Republicans have agreed on a package they want to send to Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper this week to spend a little over $1 billion in coronavirus relief from Congress, a key senator confirmed on Tuesday. The package would include sending $325 payments to households of an estimated 1.8 million children, budget-writer Sen. Brent Jackson of Sampson County told The Associated Press. The General Assembly had already earmarked well over $2 billion in federal relief dollars by late June, but the state’s $3.5 billion share of the federal coronavirus relief package must be spent by year’s end or it will be forfeited. “While it would always be nice just to go in and spend money on everything … we don’t know what what the fall is going to do with this virus,” Moore said.
