Democrats prep Biden’s virus aid
package with or without the GOP
tag is too high and his priorities
too wide-ranging, Democrats
are flexing their newfound
power as they take control of
the Senate alongside the House
and White House.
It is the first time in a de-
cade the party has held the full
sweep of power in Washing-
ton, and Democrats say they
have no time to waste trying to
broker compromises with Re-
publicans that may, or may not,
happen. They have watched
Republicans use similar pro-
cedural tools to advance their
priorities, most recently the
Trump administration’s GOP
tax cuts.
The fast-moving events days
into the new majority on Cap-
itol Hill come as the White
House continued meeting
privately with groups of Re-
publican and Democratic law-
makers in hopes of striking a
bipartisan agreement. Biden’s
COVID-19 aid package in-
cludes money for vaccine dis-
tribution, school reopenings
and $1,400 direct payments
to households and gradually
boosts the federal minimum
wage to $15 an hour over five
years.
The next steps remain highly
fluid.
The bipartisan Problem
Solvers Caucus of more than
50 House lawmakers met vir-
tually Tuesday with top admin-
istration officials on the virus
aid and economic recovery
package.
And the dozen senators
emerging from a lengthy pri-
vate meeting with the White
House on Sunday evening are
talking on their own to try to
craft a more targeted bill. The
bipartisan senators assembled
privately again Monday eve-
ning.
White House press secretary
Jen Psaki told reporters earlier
Tuesday that Biden is still look-
ing to negotiate on an aid pack-
age, while putting a priority on
acting swiftly before aid lapses
in March.
“He laid out his big package,
his big vision of what it should
look like, and people are giv-
ing their feedback,” Psaki said.
“He’s happy to have those dis-
cussions and fully expects it’s
not going to look exactly the
same on the other end.”

website. Hotel Grand Stark will
have 57 rooms. Restoration of
the century-old masonry build-
ing, which operated as a hotel
into the 1970s, was overseen
through a partnership between
Beam Development and Urban
Development and Partners.
Grand Stark Deli, the hotel’s
in-house deli, will serve “an
approachable all-day menu,”
according to the hotel website,
with fresh baked English muf-

cured salmon gravlax, breakfast
sandwiches as well as deli soups,
salads and sandwiches with
“thinly sliced meats piled high.”

the Cattle Producers of Wash-

The letter was also signed
by groups representing ru-

U.S. manufacturers, including
the Coalition for a Prosperous

Prosperous America CEO
Michael Stumo said the U.S.
shouldn’t base its trade policy
on fears about what smaller
countries will do. “Otherwise
we’re just wimps,” he said.
Stumo said he expects the
Biden administration to be open
to protecting blueberry farmers.
“I don’t think the administration
change will make a difference in
this case,” he said.

Officials at the Port of Coos Bay say they plan to move forward and
seek alternatives for their channel modification project despite the
recent disruption of the Jordan Cove pipeline project, which the
channel modification has been partly dependent on.
Coos Bay
Continued from A11
The Port of Coos Bay cur-
rently has Roseburg Forest
Products and Jordan Cove
listed.
“I think the biggest thing
folks need to understand is
the channel modification as
it is today needs to have Jor-
dan Cove go through,” Laura
Hicks, the channel modifica-
tion’s project manager at the
U.S. Army Corps of Engi-
neers, told the Capital Press in
the fall.
Port officials agreed that if
Jordan Cove fell through, they
would need to search for an
alternative beneficiary. And
that’s exactly what they’re do-
ing.
Barber of the port told the
Capital Press Monday that
port officials have recently
seen “a marked uptick in en-
tities reaching out to us due
to the significant congestion
currently plaguing West Coast
ports.”
Barber said the port is in
conversations with potential
investors and beneficiaries
that would allow the channel
modification to move forward
even without Jordan Cove.
Barber declined to name
any potential beneficiaries,
saying that “with all of our
projects, we are bound by
non-disclosure agreements.”
Even if the port finds an al-
ternative beneficiary, officials
have other challenges to con-
tend with.
Last month, the governor
slashed $15 million in funding
for the port’s channel mod-
ification from her proposed
state budget. Legislators, in-
cluding Sen. Arnie Roblan,
D-Coos Bay, are pushing
back.
“I’m confident we’ll get at
least some portion of that
money back,” Barber said last
month.
WASHINGTON — Senate
Democrats are preparing to
push ahead quickly on Pres-
ident Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion
COVID-19 relief package even
if it means using procedural
tools to pass the legislation on
their own, leaving Republicans
behind.
Senate Majority Leader
Chuck Schumer told senators
to be ready to vote as soon as
next week on a budget recon-
ciliation package that would
lay the groundwork for swift
passage. Coming so soon in
Biden’s administration, the
action provides a first test of
Republican opposition to the
White House priorities as well
as to the new president’s prom-
ise of a “unity” agenda.
“The work must move for-
ward, preferably with our Re-
publican colleagues, but with-
out them if we must,” Schumer
said after a private meeting of
Democratic senators.
“Time is of the essence to ad-
dress this crisis. We’re keeping
all options open on the table.”

licans who argue Biden’s price
