PROVIDENCE, RI — Congress recently passed the American Rescue Plan, the latest attempt to help the country financially navigate the coronavirus pandemic.

Sheldon Whitehouse released a list of what the state's 39 cities and towns can expect to receive. "Help is on the way!" Whitehouse tweeted. "My office did some estimating of how much money cities and towns get if county and schools money flows through per capita. Just estimates, but the bottom line is: it's a lot."
