We will get those out as quickly as we can,&#8221; said Brown.<\/p>\n<p>The federal stimulus includes $150 billion to provide stability for state, local, and tribal governments to maintain health, education, and other services.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon, said he expects Oregon to get between $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion. About 55% will go to state government, according to Merkley. The rest will be distributed to counties and cities.<\/p>\n<p>The stimulus included $25 billion for transit. During a TriMet board meeting Wednesday morning, General Manager Doug Kelsey said they were not sure what that means for local transit agencies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re literally unpacking that in the hours and days ahead, to factor that into the impact on this organization for the foreseeable future,&#8221; said Kelsey.<\/p>\n<p>Money will be distributed to both big and small businesses too. Merkley said federal leaders must now figure out how to distribute that cash quickly and effectively.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to see another phase in this challenge,&#8221; said Merkley. &#8220;Hopefully, we&#8217;ll see an expeditious and smooth rollout of these programs.&#8221;<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PORTLAND, Ore. &#8212; While U.S. lawmakers are on the verge of approving&nbsp;a $2 trillion stimulus package for coronavirus relief,&nbsp;local leaders expect more than $1 billion to be shared with Oregon in addition to cash payments, unemployment assistance, and help for business.
